Fundamentals of Computer Science using Java | 545 pages | PDF | 3.8 MB


In a first course in Computer Science, the primary goal is to teach the fundamentals of the field. Basic concepts are introduced with the help of a
programming language that is often viewed as simply a medium through which algorithms are expressed. From that perspective, it does not matter which language is used in an introductory course, because any would suffice. In practice, however, the language can have a profound impact on the students’ learning
experience. First, the style of the language constrains the way and the order in which topics can be introduced. Further, the language taught in the first
course must support the rest of the curriculum. For these reasons and more, a language-defined text is an important component in an introductory course.
