Good overview for someone looking to delve deeper in Computer Science in the future. Went more in depth than any of the introductory material I have read before (AP high school level material) and helped give a good picture of what can be done in CS and the complexity that exists.

A useful book for self-taught programmers, with lots of good topics on CS fundamentals (I read the revised 2014 version).

[Joe Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

This college textbook is good for anyone interested in learning more about one of the most important aspects of modern life: computing systems and networking. I was impressed that the questions were not unreasonably difficult or unclear.
