Computer Science: An Overview 1st Edition: In this language-independent book, J. Glenn Brookshear provides accurate and balanced coverage of a variety of topics, providing an overview to the discipline of computer science. Brookshear is a master of making even the most complex topics accessible through his no-nonsense style and the use of real life analogies and concrete examples. This latest edition maintains its delicate balance of breadth of subject matter and depth of coverage that has made previous editions so successful. New Highlights Includes a larger emphasis on the object-oriented paradigm and networking, including coverage of the World Wide Web and the Java Programming Language. Offers end-of-chapter “Questions of Ethics” in addition to discussions of ethics throughout the book. Contains new sections on digital circuitry, the client/server model, data compression, and digital representation of graphics. Provides a complete teaching package, including a new C++ lab manual, C and Pascal lab manuals, and a World Wide Web site.
