About this title

Synopsis

Beginning programmers struggle constantly to balance logic and syntax. Written in a non-language specific format, Prelude to Programming, 4/e, addresses this problem, giving beginners a language-independent framework for learning core programming concepts and effective design techniques. Gives readers the foundation they need to understand the logic behind program design and to establish effective programming skills. Focuses on many different languages, but includes “real” problems that mirror the pseudocode problems throughout, in four programming languages (Java, C++, VisualBasic, and Python). Is packaged with the RAPTOR flow-charting software – complimentary software that enables users to write programs without worrying about syntax – providing a hands-on component without the need to learn a whole programming language. Includes new “What and Why” sections that discuss what would happen if the program were run, or something were changed. Provides new “Making It Work” boxed features throughout, discussing how to implement concepts in an actual high-level language. Updates “Focus on Problem Solving” sections. A useful basic reference for programmers.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
