Problem Solving & Programming Concepts
Autor Jim Hubbard, Maureen Sprankleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mai 2011
Revised to reflect the most current issues in the programming industry, this widely adopted text emphasizes that problem solving is the same in all computer languages, regardless of syntax. Sprankle and Hubbard use a generic, non-language-specific approach to present the tools and concepts required when using any programming language to develop computer applications. Designed for students with little or no computer experience - but useful to programmers at any level - the text provides step-by-step progression and consistent in-depth coverage of topics, with detailed explanations and many illustrations.
