Book excerpt: Engaged Learning for Programming in C++: A Laboratory Course takes an interactive, learn-by-doing approach to programming, giving students the ability to discover and learn programming through a no-frills, hands-on learning experience. In each laboratory exercise, students create programs that apply a particular language feature and problem solving technique. As they create these programs, they learn how C++ works and how it can be applied. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is addressed within numerous laboratory activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get started with writing simple programs in C while learning the skills that will help you work with practically any programming language Key FeaturesLearn essential C concepts such as variables, data structures, functions, loops, arrays, and pointersGet to grips with the core programming aspects that form the base of many modern programming languagesExplore the expressiveness and versatility of the C language with the help of sample programsBook Description C is a powerful general-purpose programming language that is excellent for beginners to learn. This book will introduce you to computer programming and software development using C. If you're an experienced developer, this book will help you to become familiar with the C programming language. This C programming book takes you through basic programming concepts and shows you how to implement them in C. Throughout the book, you'll create and run programs that make use of one or more C concepts, such as program structure with functions, data types, and conditional statements. You'll also see how to use looping and iteration, arrays, pointers, and strings. As you make progress, you'll cover code documentation, testing and validation methods, basic input/output, and how to write complete programs in C. By the end of the book, you'll have developed basic programming skills in C, that you can apply to other programming languages and will develop a solid foundation for you to advance as a programmer. What you will learnUnderstand fundamental programming concepts and implement them in CWrite working programs with an emphasis on code indentation and readabilityBreak existing programs intentionally and learn how to debug codeAdopt good coding practices and develop a clean coding styleExplore general programming concepts that are applicable to more advanced projectsDiscover how you can use building blocks to make more complex and interesting programsUse C Standard Library functions and understand why doing this is desirableWho this book is for This book is written for two very diverse audiences. If you're an absolute beginner who only has basic familiarity with operating a computer, this book will help you learn the most fundamental concepts and practices you need to know to become a successful C programmer. If you're an experienced programmer, you'll find the full range of C syntax as well as common C idioms. You can skim through the explanations and focus primarily on the source code provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Programming Languages: An Active Learning Approach introduces students to three programming paradigms: object-oriented/imperative languages using C++ and Ruby, functional languages using Standard ML, and logic programming using Prolog. This interactive textbook is intended to be used in and outside of class. Each chapter follows a pattern of presenting a topic followed by a practice exercise or exercises that encourage students to try what they have just read. This textbook is best-suited for students with a 2-3 course introduction to imperative programming. Key Features: (1) Accessible structure guides the student through various programming languages. (2) Seamlessly integrated practice exercises. (3) Classroom-tested. (4) Online support materials. Advance praise: “The Programming Languages book market is overflowing with books, but none like this. In many ways, it is precisely the book I have been searching for to use in my own programming languages course. One of the main challenges I perpetually face is how to teach students to program in functional and logical languages, but also how to teach them about compilers. This book melds the two approaches very well.” -- David Musicant, Carleton College

Book excerpt: After many of years of teaching C and C++ and continually searching for the 'perfect' book, we decided to write our own. Although the first edition under a different name sold world-wide, it is now out of print. We have retained our rights to the book and have entered into the self-publishing world.This textbook is designed to teach beginning programming at the college level. It has a strong focus based upon procedural programming using the C++ language. Additionally, at the end of each chapter we show how these concepts apply to the C programming language. Book materials can be downloaded from: sharepoint.cset.oit.edu/LearnByDoing/.PrerequisitesThe text is targeted at the broad base of students taking their first programming course. It assumes no prior programming knowledge. However, because of the mathematical nature of some of the programming assignments, the student should have an understanding of algebraic concepts. How we are differentIn the past we have used several books within our introductory courses taken by programming students. Every few years we tend to alternate between these books, only to find that they all fall short of our objectives. Our text is different in the following ways: a. We include a more "learn by doing" approach to presenting materials.b. Throughout the text, exercises are presented for the students to complete as they work through a specific topic.c. We clearly stress a more procedural approach to learning programming throughout the majority of the text.d. At the end of each chapter, we point out the corresponding C language constructs related to the specific topic being presented.e. The writing style seeks to actively engage the reader in a "learn by doing" fashion and makes extensive use of various aspects associated with using the debugger to help solidify concepts.f. The writing style presents information concisely and makes good use of many code examples to help present the topics.

Book excerpt: No other book on teaching has excited me as much as this one. It should be the core text for prospective teachers in any field' -- Jonathan Potter, English and Drama Teacher Camden Hills Regional High School, Rockport, ME 'VanDeWeghe presents powerful instructional practices to help students use both their hearts and their minds in learning' -- Louann Reid, Professor Colorado State University To generate truly compelling learning experiences and increase retention of new information, educators need the knowledge and tools to engage students from both a neurological and humanistic perspective. Richard VanDeWeghe provides an inside look at what happens in students' minds and hearts when they are engaged and "in the groove." Based on Mihaly Csikszentmihaly's idea of "flow"--a state of intrinsic control, curiosity, interest, and inquiry that is the ultimate experiential goal for learning--this book provides holistic strategies for encouraging students to become motivated, engaged learners. Teachers will find: - Information on brain function and memory pathways - Spiritual and emotional principles of the heart that influence learning - Strategies for guiding open-ended discussions, quality questioning, and teacher modeling - Immediate, practical applications for language arts, science, maths, and social studies - Vignettes illustrating effective teacher dialogue and classroom involvement Engaged Learning is a clear, concise, and elegant resource that helps teachers understand what it means to be a highly motivated learner.
