Foundations of Computer Science: From Data Manipulation to Theory of Computation

by Behrouz A. Forouzan

Foundations of Computer Science: From Data Manipulation to Theory of Computation successfully provides students with an overview of the many specializations within the field of computer science. Although many incoming freshman students are familiar with computers, they are often unaware of the broad field of computer science beyond the task of programming. Behrouz Forouzan has developed a five-part approach to introduce students to different aspects of the discipline without overwhelming them with technical detail. These topics include computer and data, computer hardware, computer software, data organization, and advanced topics. Throughout the book, Forouzan emphasizes the concept rather than the mathematical model, and difficult topics are supplemented with visual aids as needed to help students grasp concepts.

This is an introductory book for the CS people. I have just read the book as a refresher. However, The book is easy to read & understand. I highly recommend the book to those who are interested in learning about Computer Science.

[رائد الغامدي · Rating 3 out of 5]

مادفعني لقراءته كونه كتاب مرجعي للطلاب في كلية الحاسبات في جامعة الملك عبدالعزيز.
بالرغم من كبر حجمه، إلا أنه غير موجه للمبتدئين في تخصص الحاسوب، فهو يشرح بطريقة موجهة لمن لديه حد أدنى من المعلومات حول هذا التخصص.

It's a good book if you want to enter the realm of computer science, especially if you to enter the hard way. It gives a slight sight on every topic of computer science, though it will sometimes skip some explanation because "this topic is out of the scope of this text."
All in all, I'd recommend this books for beginners.
