Introducing the fundamental concepts of programming with JavaScript
A brand new textbook by Eric Roberts, Understanding Programming through JavaScript focuses on the fundamental concepts of programming, and is written for students with no prior knowledge or experience. It draws on a rich pedagogical heritage—including the immersive Karel the Robot microworld, time-testing programming guidelines, and a logical, step-by-step organization—to give them the foundational skills needed to pursue other coding languages, or a career in computer programming. Using the text, students will build their skills and develop live, interactive web applications that really work on web browsers, providing both instant feedback and gratification. This new text includes chapter openers that humanize computing, review questions for student self-testing, and many other valuable features.
About our author Eric Roberts is the Charles Simonyi Professor of Computer Science, emeritus, at Stanford University. Throughout his career, Roberts was a widely acknowledged leader in computer science education and received numerous national and international awards, including the Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education Award from the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group in Computer Science Education (ACM SIGCSE), the Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award from the ACM, and the Taylor Booth Education Award from the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers Computer Society (IEEE-CS).
