Purchase options and add-ons

Starting Out with Programming Logic and Design, Third Edition, is a language-independent introductory programming book that orients students to programming concepts and logic without assuming any previous programming experience. In the successful, accessible style of Tony Gaddis’ best-selling texts, useful examples and detail-oriented explanations allow students to become comfortable with fundamental concepts and logical thought processes used in programming without the complication of language syntax. Students gain confidence in their program design skills to transition into more comprehensive programming courses.

The book is ideal for a programming logic course taught as a precursor to a language-specific introductory programming course, or for the first part of an introductory programming course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome product

Showed up on time, and in good condition. The book was listed as "like new" and was.
As for content, the book is engaging and easy to read/understand. Being new to programming, and computers science in general, the approach by Gaddis is well received; my only regret is a lack of time to closely examine the book as thoroughly as I'd like.
If you're new to programming.... Buy it. Great deal

Great book for learning pseudo code. This is the foundation of all programing. I did not find the companion CD useful so if you have a choice to get it with the CD or without (and you are not required to have it for the class) I would recommend without.

This is one of the better text books I've used. The only reason I didn't get it 5 stars is that it needs a little re-organization. There is some confusion with Modules and Functions that doesn't become clear until later on in the book. Having said that, the book is mostly clear, has great examples and the review questions and problems are directly related to the book unlike some textbooks where the questions are "trick" or not really covered in the book and you have no way to check them.

I really liked the book. My son had to get it for his college class but i have in interest in programming also. This book really helped me to understand the basics and then I went on to learn c++ and then C Sharp

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2015

The book is pretty clear in the text. My only real issue was the examples. They only show the part that they are describing at the time and not the whole example. Usually this wouldn't be an issue, but with Logic how you write one part effects other parts of the code and they don't show those effects in this book. I spent quite a bit of time with my professor getting him to explain to me what it does to other things.If you've got a good teacher then you'll be ok.

A book that introduces programming logic, Tony Gaddis does a fantastic job explaining programming constructs and design in an easy to understand way. As someone who already knew how to program prior to reading this book, it certainly helped reinforce proper programming technique.

Great value. School wanted $100 for the same book used. Book itself is pretty much all about basic programming logic and flowcharts, UML, etc.. It covers things like data types, variables, repetition structures, saving to files, object oriented stuff like classes, inheritance, etc..
