Reviews
It's a great book that describes the computer basics in a very easy and interesting way to the reader. It starts from the very basic concept of computer evolution and goes on to describe the very latest Cloud technology. The book accomplishes to provide basic insights into some key computer fundamentals like Networking, Operating Systems as well as Programming languages. I liked the fact that it includes hands-on projects as examples to the readers--all in all, a great book that can benefit a range of audiences from students to professionals. --Vishal Arora, MCA, Sr. Technical Account Manager, Microsoft, Canada There are many books that could be used to teach an introduction to computers and electronics. Having spent almost three decades as a leader in business, I am refreshed that someone finally realized the need to teach introductory programming as part of that curriculum. With the growing prevalence of AI and Machine Learning applications in business, it is more important than ever that graduates into business environments be prepared to understand and perform the skills traditionally associated with programming. These skills are critical for all sorts of problem-solving and are widely missed by current introductory computer courses. --Don Poort, CPA, Assistant Professor of Business Administration, Briercrest College & Seminary, Canada
