Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. Many programmers think that he has wrongly titled his book as “The Art of Computer Programming”, though I don't agree with them. The Computer Science A test is all that College Board offers in computer science.

Practical Common Lisp 4.) Introduction to Algorithms. How to Design Programs An Introduction to Computing and Programming . This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. Then you will come to know what I am talking about. All of these books have quite very different styles of presenting their concepts and the way they approach the problems are totally unrelated. I'd be a bit worried about a CS course that includes BASIC—that indicates to me a course design that has not been thought about for a LONG, LONG time. I didn't really learn to understand abstract-as-a-verb until I got it from the computer programming folks, via the How to Design Programs book (free at http://htdp.org if you're interested). Finally, students learn languages such as BASIC and C++ to begin writing programs as they are formally introduced to computer programming.
