Explorations in Computing (eBook, ePUB)

An Introduction to Computer Science and Python Programming

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Designed for CS0 and CS1 courses, this textbook teaches computer science students how to use programming skills to explore fundamental concepts and computational approaches to solving problems. It uses Python as the lab software so that students can seamlessly transition from introductory projects to more advanced studies in later courses. The interactive lab projects in each chapter allow students to examine important ideas in computer science. The Python software modules for each lab project are available online.
