This book introduces you to the world of computer programming.
Little prior knowledge is needed except for starting a text
editor and typing. The text accompanies you all the way, from
first experiments to writing real-world programs.
How does a computer work?
Which components does a computer have?
What is a computer program?
How do I analyze problems?
How do I formulate solutions in program code?
This book answers all these questions by means of numerous example
programs of increasing size and complexity, starting with simple
code that displays a greeting and ending with a fun video game and a
full-featured text editor.
