Introduction to Computer Science: A Textbook for Beginners in Informatics In Stock Now

This textbook is addressed to students of computer science in their first terms, and covers the content of a general introductory lecture in computer science held at a German University. The basic stuff for most special courses - circuit technology, programming, operating system, networking, security, and more - is presented along with some further background information not necessarily covered by other lectures, but helping to understand relationships and reasons why certain techniques are done in just that way. The learning process is supported by numerous exercises.
