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 Visual Basic, 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!
