Riassunto:

Just as children must learn the alphabet before they can read, future programmers must understand certain concepts before they can write their first program. This unique book uses full-color illustrations to help you truly understand the underlying computer science on which all programming is based.

Veteran programmer Dan Appleman provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand explanation of computer programming, starting from a basic description of what a computer language is to coverage of how Internet programming works. The book shows you how to turn ideas into code and how to use algorithms to accomplish common tasks, and describes the basic function of compilers and interpreters.

What you’ll learn

Who this book is for

Curious readers of any age will find an accessible yet comprehensive explanation of a field that has revolutionized the way we live and work.

Recensione:

Here is what an enthusiastic reader said on Amazon.com:
"Even an experienced programmer would enjoy the book."
"All in all, How Computer Programming Works is an excellent treatise and great point of entry for computer science students, beginner programmers, or even those who are just curious about computer programming but who do not want to develop programs. Teachers should also get their hands on a copy - it's a superb example of how programming concepts can be explained without generating mass confusion. ..enhanced by Sarah Ishida's excellent illustrations. These work brilliantly alongside the writer's prose, and leave little excuse for not understanding these basic concepts."
(SA Computer Magazine) "I am sure that everyone knows of programs which would have been better if their authors had kept in mind some of the principles described here." (Computing)
