If you know basic high-school math, you can quickly learn and apply the core
concepts of computer science with this concise, hands-on book. Led by a team
of experts, you’ll quickly understand the difference between computer science
and computer programming, and you’ll learn how algorithms help you solve
computing problems.
Each chapter builds on material introduced earlier in the book, so you can
master one core building block before moving on to the next. You’ll explore
fundamental topics such as loops, arrays, objects, and classes, using the
easy-to-learn Ruby programming language. Then you’ll put everything together
in the last chapter by programming a simple game of tic-tac-toe.
