Overview
Computer Science: A Concise Introduction covers the fundamentals of computer science.
The book describes micro-, mini-, and mainframe computers and their uses; the ranges and types of computers and peripherals currently available; applications to numerical computation; and commercial data processing and industrial control processes. The functions of data preparation, data control, computer operations, applications programming, systems analysis and design, database administration, and network control are also encompassed. The book then discusses batch, on-line, and real-time systems; the basic concepts of computer architecture; and the characteristics of main memory and backing storage. The main characteristics of common types of input, output, and input/output devices used in commercial computer applications and data transmission system are also considered.
The book tackles the organization and accessing of serial, sequential, and indexed sequential file; file processing and management; and the concepts and functions of operating systems. The text describes on-line and off-line programming methods as well.
Computer science students will find the book useful.

"Note that the book is from 1990." - by Anonymous on 05-FEB-2016
Reviewer Rating:
This isn't an actual review, just wanted to point out that although Safari makes it look like this is a recent publication, it's a book from 1990.
May still be useful to you, I have no idea, but know going into it that certain concepts like, oh, "the internet" aren't really covered.
