"A very good text which introduces you to the CS field. It isn't the most indepth, but I definitely recommend you bring this with you – to refer back to before consulting the more advanced texts!"
"Not the most exciting book to read, but it is the recommended text and the course relates very heavily to this. There are other textbooks about, but this does seem to be one of the best."
"Can't praise this textbook more. While it is relatively short, it contains all of the basics in a friendly and informative layout. And it has lots of examples which make things seem much easier!"
