Features
New to This Edition
- A language-independent introduction to computer science uses C#, C++, and Java™ as example languages. C++ and Java lab manuals are available for those who want to focus on a particular language.
- More than 1000 Questions and Exercises, Chapter Review Problems, and Social Issues questions give students the opportunity to apply the concepts just learned.
- Ethical and legal aspects of areas such as Internet security, software engineering, and database technology bring to light what students should know to be safe and responsible users of technology.
- A flexible organization and presentation begins with concrete subjects and evolves into more abstract subjects. Individual chapters are independent and can be covered in an order that fits course preferences.
-
Each new text comes with a bound-in access card for six months of prepaid access to the book's robust Companion Website. The subscription provides full access to all student support areas, including:
