Description
Designed for a first course in computing or programming, this text is suitable both as a program design supplement for a computer programming course, and as a language-free introduction to algorithm development. No previous programming experience is assumed since it builds concepts from first principles. This book develops a program design method that is both simple and easy to follow, stresses structured programming and modular design techniques as well as teaches by example - each concept is illustrated by examples so students can gain confidence in their ability to use new techniques before proceeding. Examples are drawn from typical business situations and pseudocode and structured programming techniques are used throughout the text.
