| Summary |
Praise for the first edition:""The well-written, comprehensive book ... [is] aiming to become a de facto reference for the language and its features and capabilities. The pace is appropriate for beginners; programming concepts are introduced progressively through a range of examples and then used as tools for building applications in various domains, including sophisticated data structures and algorithms ... Highly recommended. Students of all levels, faculty, and professionals/practitioners.?-D. Papamichail, University of Miami in CHOICE Magazine?Mark Lewis'?Introduction to the Art of Programming Usi |
