Written for a first course in computer science that uses C++ language, A Computer Science Tapestry assumes no prior programming background. Supplied with the book are a large number of classes, programs, and libraries to teach students how to read, modify, and enhance programs before learning to write them from scratch.
This text investigates the foundational principles of computer science and programming through the practical application of the C++ language. Author Owen L. Astrachan provides a pedagogical framework designed for introductory students with no prior coding experience. The book utilizes a library-first approach, emphasizing the modification and analysis of existing code structures before requiring students to construct programs from scratch.
