Summary
This book is for anyone who wants to learn computer
programming and knows absolutely nothing about it. Of course,
if you are wondering whether this book is going to teach you
how to create amazing websites or incredible applications, the
answer is "no"—that is a job for other books. So many
books out there can teach you those skills in PHP, Java, C++,
or C#. Many of them even claim that they can teach you in 24
hours! Don’t laugh! They probably can do that, but all of
them take one thing for granted—that the reader knows
some basics about computer programming. None of those books,
unfortunately, bothers to teach you the first thing that a
novice programmer needs to learn, which is "Algorithmic
Thinking." Algorithmic Thinking involves more than just learning code.
It is a problem solving process that involves learning how to
code. With over 800 pages, and containing more than 300 solved
and 400 unsolved exercises, over 450 true/false, 150 multiple
choice, and 180 review questions (the solutions and the answers
to which can be found on the Internet), this book is ideal for
students, teachers, professors, novices or average programmers,
or for anyone who wants to start learning or teaching computer
programming using the proper conventions and techniques. **
