เนื้อหาย่อ : The driving force behind the creation, introd duction, a and refinement of the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Comp mputer Science ence course has been Phil Miller. r. Far mo nore than any other one person, Phil has shaped both the e spirit and content Board Task Forc nitial AP Development it of that course. . He serv dering College Board offerings in computer red finat as a memler of a College nt Committee for the AP Computer Science exam mination, and finally as as Chaimman of that committee for the last 4 years. .Now Phil, tog rgether with Lee Miller, has authored a textbook that displays the same principles of programm AP Computer Science course amming methodology that he has consistently advocated for the se since its inception. As an observer of the work of the AP Comp puter Science Development Committee and as a reviewer of Programming by Design, I see the s same themes dominating the textbook that I have seen driving the AP course, The use of Karel the Robot in the texibook as a precu ursor to Pascal min hirrors the influence of on the AP course, introduction of procedural abstractior Clorantorit racteristic is one of the where the carliest possible int e principles on wi which Phil's views prevailed within the AP Development ittee even before be became its chairman. The exact course material in a first cour ea this eont as ih the waih Chmnr les. rough work with the AP Computer Science Commi Selence Comimit e inctive tee and the GRE Computer Science Commitee being taught at leading computer science departments around the observation country, though I have e made no systematic in ematic investigation of curricu ricula. This text solidly cov covers the aspects of programming methods of the year-long AP Computer Science course, though teachers will want to supplement Prozramming by Design with a good algorihms/data-structures text for a year- Force conside r sclence, then as a memb wn as a dominant to university. It is my long AP course.
