Computer Science Principles: The Foundational Concepts of Computer Science - For AP(R) Computer Science Principles

It is okay.It gives a *very* basic overview, that's fine and good, but it also has a TON of spelling mistakes, which is pretty embarassing at times. Someone should have proofread the book before publishing it

I bought for my daughter in high-school and found it's too simple not detailed and not good for student to start even the concept

Lacks a clear idea.

As an educator, I appreciate the way this resource is logical, straightforward, and easy to understand. My students taking AP Computer Science will find this resource a helpful supplement to the AP Computer Science course, and even those not enrolled in the course will find it useful as a guide for understanding. Moreover, this book celebrates the unlimited creativity that can be imagined and achieved in this field rather than emphasizing formulaic rigidity, which will inspire all students of the study, regardless of age!

As a teacher and parent of a high school student interested in the subject I found the book very helpful. The creative approach the author has taken to distill the subject is refreshing. Computer Science Principles provides a wonderful entry point into what is a wildly popular and growing subject matter in high schools I'm certain across the country. Thank you for such a great and creative approach in the subject.
