Synopsis

We are excited to announce the publication of the ground-breaking Discovering Computers: Fundamentals Edition. This book is the Shelly Cashman Series answer to the many requests we have received from instructors and students for a textbook that provides a succinct, yet thorough, introduction to computers. Discovering Computers: Fundamentals Edition covers the same breadth of topics as our well-known Discovering Computers 2005: Complete, but the depth of coverage focuses on the basic knowledge required to be computer literate in today's digital world. This text is perfect for a short course on computer concepts, or a full semester course that also teaches applications or programming.
