C# for Tweens and Teens – Second Edition

Learn Computational and Algorithmic Thinking.

If you are wondering whether this book is going to teach you how to create amazing desktop or mobile applications, the answer is “no”—that is a job for other books. So many books out there can teach you those skills in C#, Python, or Java, but all of them take one thing for granted—that the reader knows some basics about computer programming. None of those books, unfortunately, bothers to teach you the first thing that a novice programmer needs to learn, which is “Algorithmic Thinking”.

Algorithmic Thinking involves more than just learning code. It is a problem-solving process that involves learning how to code! This book teaches computational and algorithmic thinking by taking very seriously one thing for granted—that the reader knows absolutely nothing about computer programming!

This edition contains all the popular features of the previous edition, while two brand new chapters provide an effective introduction to files.

This book has been written as a textbook, using a class course structure with questions and exercises at the end of each chapter so you can test what you have learned right away and improve your comprehension. With 380 illustrated pages, and more than 300 solved and unsolved exercises, around 300 true/false, 100 multiple choice, and 100 review questions (the solutions and the answers to which can be found on the Internet), this book is ideal for

kids aged 12+ and their parents
students
teachers
anyone who wants to start learning or teaching computer programming using the proper conventions and techniques.

Arduino: Αλγοριθμική, Προγραμματισμός και Εφαρμογές

Οδηγός για την ανάπτυξη εφαρμογών και εκπαιδευτικών δραστηριοτήτων STEM με το Arduino.

Στη σημερινή εποχή, όπου και να ψάξουμε θα βρούμε κρυμμένους μηχανισμούς που ελέγχουν κάποιες συνθήκες και ενεργούν ανάλογα. Οι μηχανισμοί αυτοί συνήθως στηρίζονται σε μικροϋπολογιστές ή μικροελεγκτές και βρίσκονται μέσα στις οικιακές συσκευές, στις προσωπικές ηλεκτρονικές συσκευές που χρησιμοποιούμε καθημερινά (ψηφιακά ρολόγια χειρός, κινητά τηλέφωνα, τάμπλετ, κ.ά.), μέχρι και μέσα στο αυτοκίνητό μας, το οποίο σε μερικές περιπτώσεις μπορεί να παρκάρει ή ακόμη και να οδηγεί «μόνο» του.

Όλα αυτά φαίνονται θαυμαστά, γιατί μοιάζουν σαν να γίνονται από μόνα τους. Αν όμως προβληματιστούμε λίγο, θα διαπιστώσουμε ότι πίσω τους κρύβεται ένας ανθρώπινος νους, ο οποίος έχει δώσει τις κατάλληλες εντολές σε αυτούς τους μηχανισμούς ώστε να ενεργούν με αυτόν τον τρόπο.

Οι κατασκευές που μπορούμε να δημιουργήσουμε με το Arduino είναι πάρα πολλές και για διάφορους σκοπούς. Οι χομπίστες μπορούν να κατασκευάσουν τηλεκατευθυνόμενα αυτοκινητάκια, οι φοιτητές και οι μαθητές διάφορες διατάξεις που μπορούν να παίρνουν μετρήσεις, να ανάβουν λαμπάκια όταν η φωτεινότητα στον χώρο είναι χαμηλή, να ενεργοποιούν μηχανισμούς, και πολλά άλλα.

Το βιβλίο που κρατάτε στα χέρια σας ακολουθεί τη μέθοδο διδασκαλίας της σπειροειδούς διάταξης της ύλης, όπως αυτή διατυπώθηκε το 1960 από τον Αμερικανό ψυχολόγο Jerome Bruner. Περιέχει πληθώρα παραδειγμάτων, το μεγαλύτερο μέρος των οποίων μπορεί να υλοποιηθεί πρακτικά, δίνοντας έτσι τη δυνατότητα στον αναγνώστη να εξοικειωθεί με τη γλώσσα προγραμματισμού Arduino C++ ώσπου τελικά να είναι σε θέση να δημιουργεί τις δικές του εφαρμογές. Είναι κατάλληλο για αρχαρίους αλλά και προχωρημένους, για μαθητές γυμνασίου-λυκείου αλλά και φοιτητές ανωτέρων και ανωτάτων εκπαιδευτικών ιδρυμάτων, για ερασιτέχνες του κλάδου αλλά και για επαγγελματίες.

Python 3 – Αλγοριθμική και προγραμματισμός

Οδηγός για νέους και έμπειρους προγραμματιστές

Σύμφωνα με τον Jerome Bruner, η μάθηση απαιτεί ενεργή συμμετοχή του εκπαιδευόμενου, πειραματισμό, εξερεύνηση και ανακάλυψη. Το βιβλίο Python 3: Αλγοριθμική και προγραμματισμός περιέχει πλήθος παραδειγμάτων, το μεγαλύτερο μέρος των οποίων μπορεί να υλοποιηθεί στην πράξη από τους αναγνώστες, επιτρέποντάς τους να εξοικειωθούν με τη γλώσσα Python ώστε τελικά να αποκτήσουν τις απαραίτητες δεξιότητες για να δημιουργούν τις δικές τους εφαρμογές.

Γι’ αυτόν το λόγο, το βιβλίο είναι κατάλληλο για αρχάριους αλλά και προχωρημένους προγραμματιστές, μαθητές γυμνασίου και λυκείου, φοιτητές ανωτέρων και ανωτάτων εκπαιδευτικών ιδρυμάτων, ερασιτέχνες και επαγγελματίες του κλάδου. Έχει ληφθεί ειδική μέριμνα ώστε να εξυπηρετεί και τις ανάγκες των μαθητών της Β´ και Γ´ τάξης των Επαγγελματικών Λυκείων (ΕΠΑ.Λ.) του τομέα Πληροφορικής, προκειμένου να προετοιμαστούν κατάλληλα για τις πανελλήνιες εξετάσεις.
