Introduction to C++ is a clear, beginner-friendly textbook that guides you from your first program through core programming fundamentals, including variables, control structures, loops, functions, arrays, structures, and an introduction to object-oriented programming.
This E-book is a great place to start in your journey to software development!
This Java Object-Oriented Programming book teaches you how to design and build programs using classes and objects, gradually moving from core syntax into real OOP skills like constructors, encapsulation, composition, inheritance, and polymorphism. It emphasizes practical, readable code and solid design habits through guided demos, labs, and projects that help you apply OOP concepts the way they are used in real software.
This Python book guides you from the very first steps of writing and running programs to confidently using core programming concepts, common libraries, and real-world tools to solve practical problems. Along the way, you will build skill through clear explanations, hands-on examples, and progressive activities that help you move from “learning syntax” to thinking like a programmer.
Intro to C++ Refresher is a concise guide that quickly rebuilds confidence in core C++ fundamentals, from program structure and input/output to control flow, functions, arrays, and structures. It is designed for anyone who has taken an intro course before and wants a fast, organized review that connects the basics to the skills needed for more advanced C++ work.
Introduction to Web Programming is a beginner-friendly guide that teaches you how to build modern web pages step by step using HTML for structure, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity. It emphasizes hands-on learning through small demos and labs that gradually combine into a simple, polished website you can confidently expand on.
This textbook teaches data structures and algorithms in C++ with clear, practical explanations that connect directly to real software development. You cover essential structures like stacks, queues, trees, graphs, and hash tables while learning recursion, Big-O analysis, and how to make smart performance tradeoffs. It is designed to help you build programs that are not just correct, but efficient, scalable, and professional.
This Mini-Course teaches you how to write clear, professional documentation using Markdown, the lightweight formatting language used across software teams. As you work through short lessons and demos, you build a realistic documentation pack that mirrors what real projects ship. By the end, you will be confident creating clean, readable Markdown files you can reuse for notes, assignments, and technical docs.
Computers often seem like black boxes, but computer architecture reveals what is happening behind the scenes. This book introduces how data is represented, how hardware and memory work, and how processors execute instructions. By the end, you will have a clear understanding of how computer systems operate and a stronger foundation for future computer science courses.
Introduction to Computer Science* offers a clear, practical, and engaging overview of the broad field of computing for first-year college students.
Designed for learners with little or no previous programming experience, the book explores computational thinking, hardware, software, algorithms,
data, networking, cloud computing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and the social impact of technology.
