A completely revised edition, offering new design recipes for
interactive programs and support for images as plain values,
testing, event-driven programming, and even distributed
programming. This introduction to programming places computer
science at the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other
introductory books, it focuses on the program design process,
presenting program design guidelines that show the reader how to
analyze a problem statement, how to formulate concise goals, how to
make up examples, how to develop an outline of the solution, how to
finish the program, and how to test it. Because learning to design
programs is about the study of principles and the acquisition of
transferable skills, the text does not use an off-the-shelf
industrial language but presents a tailor-made teaching language.
For the same reason, it offers DrRacket, a programming environment
for novices that supports playful, feedback-oriented learning. The
environment grows with readers as they master the material in the
book until it supports a full-fledged language for the whole
spectrum of programming tasks. This second edition has been
completely revised. While the book continues to teach a systematic
approach to program design, the second edition introduces different
design recipes for interactive programs with graphical interfaces
and batch programs. It also enriches its design recipes for
functions with numerous new hints. Finally, the teaching languages
and their IDE now come with support for images as plain values,
testing, event-driven programming, and even distributed
programming.
