Overview of the program: This program provides students with a strong theoretical foundation and practical skills to plan, analyze, design, and implement computer software systems for commercial and government uses. Learn how to write computer programs in C. The first undergraduate text to directly address compiling and running parallel programs on the new multi-core and cluster architecture, An Introduction to Parallel Programming explains how to design, debug, and evaluate the performance of Students in undergraduate parallel programming or parallel computing courses designed for the computer science major or as a service course to other departments; professionals with no background in parallel computing. Another book that you might hear mentioned is Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs aka SICP. An Introduction to Programming and Computing The MIT Press. Introduction to the Basics of C Programming The C programming language is a popular and widely used programming language for creating computer programs. Readability -- what do these words mean? How to Design Programs HtDP/2e. Decomposition -- how do I break down my thoughts into mind-sized pieces? Students will be equipped with knowledge of Introduction of Computing; Programming Fundamentals; Discrete Mathematics; Computer Architecture; Data Structures and Algorithms; Operating Systems; Graph Theory. There is also another book about programming (with scheme, too): How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing (freely available at: http://www.htdp.org ). 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). Here's a trick question: How do we get people to understand programming? President Obama has stated that all children should be introduced to computer programming in schools, due to the rise of computer-centric jobs and America's increasing interest in videogames. Khan Academy recently launched an online identity and metaphor -- how can I relate the computer's world to my own? Designing a programming system for understanding programs. Recomposition -- how do I glue pieces together? How To Design Programs - An Introduction to Programming and Computing - A free book that provides an introduction to programming using Racket (a dialect of Scheme). Like HtDP, it doesn't assume any programming knowledge. A program like this is already in effect at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and has been for years.
