'The third edition of Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C continues to present both computer science theory and C-language syntax with a principle-before-implementation approach. Forouzan and Gilberg employ a clear organizational structure, supplemented by easy-to-follow figures, charts, and tables. The new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the new C99 standard, and includes a revised chapter sequence to better aid student learning.


This textbook covers almost all the topics that a typical Programming I or Computing I course that uses the C++ programming language usually requires. The approach it uses corresponds to a 'late objects' approach, which is what my college and the college that most of my students transfer to use. However, the way the topics are organized and ordered is a little confusing and unusual .See comments under organization.


I was hoping to use this textbook for my Programming I course. It appeared to match my syllabus, particularly since it uses a 'late objects' approach and covers almost all the topics that my curriculum requires. The text I currently use is Tony Gaddis' "C++ From Control Structures through Objects", which is great, but many students won't purchase a textbook, so I am looking for OER. The organization of this text is a bit confusing and the embedding of some of the topics inside others is a bit odd. That said, I was still ready to try it. However, after spending 20 years implementing programs and activities to encourage students in groups which are underrepresented in STEM, particularly women and girls, I am troubled by the exclusion of women in this textbook except in a couple of stereotypic references. This textbook sends a message that women need not apply to computer science careers. 2ff7e9595c
