Connecting with Computer Science (Introduction to CS)

I bought this book to learn more about how computers operate. I am a self-learner who prefers textbooks because of the depth they provide but I like a textbook that read more like a novel for someone not taking the class. A good textbook does not need supplementary material (like lectures) in order to be understandable and helpful. This book meets and exceeds all expectations. It is written well, starts from the beginning, and explains topics in a logical and easy to understand way. The topics build on each other, so start from the beginning unless you have background knowledge. Some info is outdated and could definitely benefit from a newer edition. Highly recommend!

Used this textbook for my computer class. ISBN from my campus bookstore matched this book. Also, I was not going to pay lots of money for a book when I can just rent it.

Great book. Basics are all cover. Down to the point, easy to read it keep you engage. I’m just renting it for now but I will purchase it in the future to keep as a reference book. Great book.

It was a little difficult to read and discern where to get the answers for the questions in the back of the book.

Great introduction into the world of computer science. I am a total amateur but this book introduces complex topics in an easy to understand form.

Well-worded and casual, this textbook is easy to understand and explains concepts for those interested in the field who barely have a beginner's knowledge of computers.

Good book for begginners who are starting in computers or computer science it has a lot good definitions. Writen by professors at Weber State University in Ogden Utah. We yse book in my CSIS1030 class at SLCC

met my expectations,i was required for my computer class to get a second edition but this first edition is exact match to the 2nd edition and i saved almost 120 dollars just purchasing this book in amazon as compared to other websites.
