Book Description

This second edition has been completely revised. While the book continues to teach a systematic approach to program design, the second edition introduces different design recipes for interactive programs with graphical interfaces and batch programs. It also enriches its design recipes for functions with numerous new hints. Finally, the teaching languages and their IDE now come with support for images as plain values, testing, event-driven programming, and even distributed programming.

• Matthias Felleisen is a German-American computer science professor and author.
• Shriram Krishnamurthi is a computer scientist, currently a professor of computer science at Brown University.

• Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs using JavaScript

  This book introduces the reader to central ideas of computation by establishing a series of mental models for computation. It has had a dramatic impact on computer science curricula over the past decades. Examples are implemented using the JavaScript.

• The Black Art of Programming (Mark McIlroy)

  This book is an introduction to computer programming. It covers the essential information of a Computer Science course. It is recommended for beginners and intermediate programmers.

• Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming

  This innovative book presents computer programming as a unified discipline in a way that is both practical and scientifically sound. The book focuses on techniques of lasting value and explains them precisely in terms of a simple abstract machine.

• How to Design Classes (Matthias Felleisen, et al)

  This book shows students how object-oriented programming languages such as C++, C#, and Java support this effort with syntactic constructs. They also refine the program design discipline.

• Exploratory Programming for the Arts and Humanities

  This book introduces programming to readers involved with the arts and humanities; there are no prerequisites, and no previous knowledge of programming is assumed. It reveals programming can also be a tool for sketching, brainstorming, and inquiry.

• Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach

  This book is an introduction to computer programming using any of a variety of programming languages, including C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Swift, for writing programmes, and to solid, fundamental programming principles.

• A Practical Theory of Programming (Eric C.R. Hehner)

  This book explores aspects of programming that are amenable to mathematical proof. The author describes a programming theory which is much simpler and more comprehensive than the current theories to date.

• Learn Programming: Tour Through the Programming Jungle

  This book is aimed at readers who are interested in software development but have very little to no prior experience. The book focuses on teaching the core principles around software development.

• Your First Year in Code: For New and Aspiring Developers

  Starting a career in programming can be intimidating. This book can help, with practical advice on topics like code reviews, resume writing, fitting in, ethics, and finding your dream job.

• Patterns for Beginning Programmers (David Bernstein)

  Programming patterns are solutions to problems that require the creation of a small fragment of code that will be part of a larger program. Hence, this book is about teaching you how to write such fragments of code.

• The Recursive Book of Recursion (Al Sweigart)

  Recursion has an intimidating reputation. This book uses Python and JavaScript examples to teach the basics of recursion, exposing the ways that it's often poorly taught and clarifying the fundamental principles of all recursive algorithms.

• Elements of Programming (Alexander Stepanov, et al)

  The book shows that algorithms implemented in a real programming language, such as C++, can operate in the most general mathematical setting. For example, the fast exponentiation algorithm is defined to work with any associative operation.

• Software Design for Flexibility: Avoid Programming into a Corner

  This book describes techniques they have found effective--over their combined 100-plus years of programming experience--that will help programmers avoid programming themselves into corners.
