Led by a team of experts, you'll quickly understand the difference between computer science and computer programming, and you'll learn how algorithms help you solve computing problems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter builds on material introduced earlier in the book, so you can master one core building block before moving on to the next. You'll explore fundamental topics such as loops, arrays, objects, and classes, using the easy-to-learn Ruby programming language. Then you'll put everything together in the last chapter by programming a simple game of tic-tac-toe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn how to write algorithms to solve real-world problems \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the basics of computer architecture \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamine the basic tools of a programming language \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore sequential, conditional, and loop programming structures \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand how the array data structure organizes storage \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse searching techniques and comparison-based sorting algorithms \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn about objects, including how to build your own \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover how objects can be created from other objects \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManipulate files and use their data in your software \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ophir Frieder,Gideon Frieder,David Grossman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e O'Reilly Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 7.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781449355975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOphir Frieder holds the Robert L.
