Computer Science

This book is a very interesting book that covers all the basic topics of modern computer science. It is very in-depth and very informative. When I first read the book I was confused and did not understand the text but once you look at the many illustration the information makes sense. This book is a very good book for any college level computer science class.

Review:
A Learning Tool

I just finished using the Computer Science Illuminated textbook, and I found it extremely helpful. I think that the explanations in the book are easy to follow and are a valuable assest to learning new concepts. The textbook also highlights the most important vocabulary words in the margins so it is easy to find the definitions of many terms. There are also many helpful visual aids in the book, such as charts and graphs, which makes learning new material much easier.

What I found to be best about the book is the Excercises and practice problems at the end of each chapter. They are a good tool to test your vocabulary and evaluate your progress thorughout the chapter. The problems are also a great way to prepare for tests, as they are very helpful when trying to study. The only little thing I don't like about the book is the summaries at the end of each chapter. Although the book is easy to read and skim through, I don't think the summaries have enough information in them to give a good overview of the chapter. However, I would recommend this textbook to all students studying computer science.

Review:
Computer Science Illuminated

For the most part, I found Computer Science Illuminated to be textbook that emphasized clarity with details and definitions. It was helpful to me, a freshman college student taking computer science for the first time, because at the end of each chapter it contained questions that were good aids in understanding the chapter's material. I also found the charts and figures illustrating important terms and concepts to be helpful to my understanding as I read.
While the chapters were clearly organized and finding a definition was simple, the difficulty I found was in the synthesis of the chapters. This was the first time I've taken computer science and most of the information was new to me so putting it all together was difficult. It seemed sometimes the book assumed the reader understood how the concepts came together, but after even reading it over a few times, I was still confused. Overall I would recommend this book to someone looking for a basic overview of computer science.

Review:
A Valuable Guide to Computer Basics

Computer Science Illuminated is an easy to understand, educational guide to computer fundamentals. Basic computer skills are presented through seventeen detailed chapters. Key terms are in bold for easy identification, with clear definitions in the margins. Pictures, charts, and diagrams are illustrated for further clarification and understanding of ideas.

I found this book to be an excellent source. It taught me valuable basic computer skills in an easy, clear manner. Some chapters appeared to be quite long and wordy, but it was all out of good intentions. Any repetition was to further enhance ideas and make them clear to make sure that they were learned. With the completion of this book, you will be able to understand and utilize the computer concepts you have learned. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning computer science fundamentals through an easy, understandable guide.

Review:
Computer Science Illuminated

Coming from the perspective of a college freshman currently studying from this book, I would say that Dale and Lewis did a satisfactory job with this Illuminated textbook. The graphs and charts are for the most part easy to read and comprehend, and the information is helpful for my computer science course. The questions at the end of the chapter are very helpful in identifying key concepts, with the glossary and the index as additonal tools for understanding.

One thing that the authors could have done better with this book is making it clearer to understanding. While those charts may be simple, the facts about computer and network systems are something that I feel is over my head. With having very little knowledge about this type of computer systems, I was unsure of the meaning of certain terms and components of the machine. Pretty well written, helpful when paired with a computer science course.
