Intro to Programming Languages: Books for Java, C,...

Recently we at FYCSP had an ask about AP Computer Science and if there were any books which could be used to learn Java. So, as a series/menial task which I feel many of our followers here at FYCSP will enjoy, I have collected and uploaded various intro-level books. Introductory level books for Java, C, C++, Python(2.X and 3), and Perl. All books are those used in intro level classes at...

Anonymous asked: I installed your iautomata. Looks really neat. I have not yet figured out usage. I have not yet figured out how to assign values to transition variables. Does the application support variables in transitions?

Is there more help than the application help screen?

Thank you.

My question is how math driven does computer science get later on, like at university level or 'real world' stuff?
Right now it doesn't seem to require really much math (other than...

Anonymous asked: Hi guys! I was hoping I could bother you with a question. See, I've always been interested in computers and I'm rather good with them, but due to less than stellar grades on exiting high school, my chances of getting into college are really rather slim, and I haven't yet been accepted into any I've applied for. If I don't get accepted for the new semester, I'd like to...
