First things first -- Variables: the holders of information -- Everything you ever wanted to know about operators -- Programming: it's now or never -- Design: it's best to start here -- True or false: the basis for all decisions -- Loops, or how to spin effectively! -- Function calls: that's what it's all about-get somebody else to do the work -- Using functions in graphics -- Running out of holders? It's time for the array -- All about strings -- The matrix-before the movie -- Debugging: more important than you think -- But what if things are different? structures, records, and fields -- Objects and classes: being organized is better than not -- Dealing with the outside world: files -- Pointers: who is looking at whom? -- Searching: did you find it yet? -- Let's put things in order: sorting -- Recursion: calling yourself over and over again.
This book "stresses concepts over language and includes examples in the most popular languages -- specifically HTML, C++, and Java. It explains the fundamental topics, such as decisions, loops, design, and complex data structures. It includes helpful tips and analogies to guide readers through the maze of programming techniques, concepts, and common pitfalls. It introduces the most relevant topics for beginners and pinpoints the essential skills needed for programming success. The companion CD provides all the source code you'll need, as well as helpful tools and programs that are mentioned in the book."--Back cover.
