Introduction to Computing and Programming in Python, 3/e (美國原版)

Introduction to Computing and Programming in Python, 3e, uses multimedia applications to motivate introductory computer science majors or non-majors. The book's hands-on approach shows how programs can be used to build multimedia computer science applications that include sound, graphics, music, pictures, and movies. The students learn a key set of computer science tools and topics, as well as programming skills; such as how to design and use algorithms, and practical software engineering methods. The book also includes optional coverage of HCI, as well as rudimentary data structures and databases using the user-friendly Python language for implementation. Authors Guzdial and Ericson also demonstrate how to communicate compatibly through networks and do concurrent programming.

《Python程式設計與計算概論，第三版》利用多媒體應用程式來激發初學者對計算機科學的興趣，無論是主修或非主修的學生都適用。這本書以實作為主，展示了如何使用程式來建立包含聲音、圖形、音樂、圖片和影片等多媒體計算機科學應用程式。學生將學習一系列重要的計算機科學工具和主題，以及程式設計技巧，例如如何設計和使用演算法，以及實用的軟體工程方法。本書還包括選修的人機互動介面（HCI）內容，以及使用易於上手的Python語言實作基本的資料結構和資料庫。作者Guzdial和Ericson還演示了如何通過網路進行相容性通訊和並行程式設計。
