From the Back Cover:

Starting Out with Programming Logic and Design is a language-independent book that introduces students to programming concepts and logic. As with all best-selling books by Tony Gaddis, this book's useful examples and detail-oriented explanations help students become comfortable with the fundamental concepts and logical thought processes used in programming. This book gives students the confidence to transition into more comprehensive programming courses.

It is ideal for use in a programming logic course taught as a precursor to a language-specific introductory programming course, or in the first part of an introductory programming course.
