Practical Computer Programming

Computer programming is the process of designing and developing software applications to achieve specific computational outcomes. It involves problem analysis, algorithm design, and the assessment of their accuracy and efficiency within a given programming language. The primary objective of this discipline is to develop a sequence of instructions that effectively accomplish a particular task. Key areas of study within computer programming include source code maintenance, artifact management, testing, and debugging. Essential characteristics of effective programming include robustness, portability, usability, efficiency, performance, reliability, and maintainability. Additionally, methodologies such as object-oriented analysis and design, Unified Modeling Language (UML), and model-driven architecture are employed in software development. This book outlines the processes and applications of computer programming in detail. It is compiled in such a manner that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of the field. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
