This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. This approach fosters a variety of skills--critical reading, analytical thinking, creative synthesis, and attention to detail--that are important for everyone, not just future computer programmers. The book exposes readers to two fundamentally new ideas. First, it presents 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, based on the analysis; how to finish the program; and how to test. Each step produces a well-defined intermediate product. Second, the book comes with a novel programming environment, the first one explicitly designed for beginners. The environment grows with the readers as they master the material in the book until it supports a full-fledged language for the whole spectrum of programming tasks. All the book's support materials are available for free on the Web. The Web site includes the environment, teacher guides, exercises for all levels, solutions, and additional projects. -- amazon.com

★列为全球上百所大学标准教材和首席参考书！ ★图书馆必备典藏,作者Michael L.Scott 是计算机领域的著名学者，译者是北京大学的裘宗燕教授，他熟悉专业，译笔流畅，因此，这是一本难得的著、译双馨的佳作。 这是一本很有特色的教材，其核心是讨论程序设计语言的工作原理和技术。本书融合了传统的程序设计语言教科书和编译教科书的有关知识，并增加了一些有关汇编层体系结构的材料，以满足没学过计算机组织的学生们的需要。书中通过各种语言的例子，阐释了程序设计语言的重要基础概念，讨论了各种概念之间的关系，解释了语言中许多结构的形成和发展过程，以及它们演化为今天这种形式的根源。书中还详细讨论了编译器的工作方式和工作过程，说明它们对源程序做了什么，以及为什么要那样做。书的每章最后附有复习题和一些更具挑战性的练习。这些练习的特别价值在于引导学生进一步深入理解各种语言和技术。本书第2版新增了脚本语言问题的讨论，涵盖Perl、Python、Ruby、Tcl、PHP、JavaScript、XSLT等和其他语言。 本书在美国大学已使用了十余年，目前被欧美许多重要大学用于“程序设计语言”或者“软件系统”课程。本书适合高年级本科生或者一年级研究生使用，许多内容对专业程序员也很有价值。

TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1, Second Edition, is a detailed and visual guide to today’s TCP/IP protocol suite. Fully updated for the newest innovations, it demonstrates each protocol in action through realistic examples from modern Linux, Windows, and Mac OS environments. There’s no better way to discover why TCP/IP works as it does, how it reacts to common conditions, and how to apply it in your own applications and networks. Building on the late W. Richard Stevens’ classic first edition, author Kevin R. Fall adds his cutting-edge experience as a leader in TCP/IP protocol research, updating the book to fully reflect the latest protocols and best practices. He first introduces TCP/IP’s core goals and architectural concepts, showing how they can robustly connect diverse networks and support multiple services running concurrently. Next, he carefully explains Internet addressing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Then, he walks through TCP/IP’s structure and function from the bottom up: from link layer protocols–such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi–through network, transport, and application layers. Fall thoroughly introduces ARP, DHCP, NAT, firewalls, ICMPv4/ICMPv6, broadcasting, multicasting, UDP, DNS, and much more. He offers extensive coverage of reliable transport and TCP, including connection management, timeout, retransmission, interactive data flow, and congestion control. Finally, he introduces the basics of security and cryptography, and illuminates the crucial modern protocols for protecting security and privacy, including EAP, IPsec, TLS, DNSSEC, and DKIM. Whatever your TCP/IP experience, this book will help you gain a deeper, more intuitive understanding of the entire protocol suite so you can build better applications and run more reliable, efficient networks.
