4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Foundation
I really found this book to be an interesting read, as it says, it covers a lot of the basic computer science principles.

As can be expected from a book that covers such a vast number of topics, it doesn't go into all of them in detail, although a few of them seemed to be quite in-depth.

I didn't have a problem with the actual quality of the...

I didn't have a problem with the actual quality of the book(unlike another reviewer), though I definitely think some of the examples could be clearer.

I have a good opinion of this book, I think its quite suitable as a university textbook, which is the purpose for which it was written. But I would definitely recommend it for programmers who maybe haven't done any university courses, a book like this will give insight into how things work behind the scene.

This review is from: Foundations of Computer Science (Paperback)
This book shows a lot of detailed process, while doing a poor job of explaining it. The first 50 pages of the book have wrong examples on multiple occasions and obvious grammatical errors. There must have been very little quality assurance performed by the publisher of this book. This is sub-standard to use for college level computer science courses. If I were a professor, I would never use a book that shows wrong examples. This is very, very poor workmanship.
