Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective (2nd Edition)
ISBN: 0136108040 Binding: Hardcover Edition: 2 Author(s): Randal E. Bryant, David R. O'Hallaron Publisher: Addison Wesley Number of Pages: 1080
For Computer Systems Computer Organization and Architecture courses in CS EE and ECE departments Few students studying computer science or computer engineering will ever have the opportunity to build a computer system On the other hand most students will be required to use and program computers on a near daily basis Computer Systems: A Programmers Perspective introduces the important and enduring concepts that underlie computer systems by showing how these ideas affect the correctness performance and utility of application programs The text's hands-on approach (including a comprehensive set of labs) helps students understand the under-the-hood operation of a modern computer system and prepares them for future courses in systems topics such as compilers computer architecture operating systems and networkingVisit the CSS:AP web page http:csappcscmuedu for more information and resources
Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science
ISBN: 1887902996 Binding: Paperback Edition: Author(s): John M. Zelle Publisher: Franklin Beedle & Associates Number of Pages: 517
This book is designed to be used as the primary textbook in a college-level first course in computing It takes a fairly traditional approach emphasizing problem solving design and programming as the core skills of computer science However these ideas are illustrated using a non-traditional language namely Python Although I use Python as the language teaching Python is not the main point of this book Rather Python is used to illustrate fundamental principles of design and programming that apply in any language or computing environment In some places I have purposely avoided certain Python features and idioms that are not generally found in other languages There are already many good books about Python on the market; this book is intended as an introduction to computing Features include the following: Extensive use of computer graphics Interesting examples Readable prose Flexible spiral coverage Just-in-time object coverage Extensive end-of-chapter problems
