  • Breaking Down Tasks: Using Decomposition

    Elizabeth Schmermund

    Paperback (Cavendish Square, Jan. 15, 2018)
    All pieces of hardware and software involve multiple systems and features working together to complete tasks. Therefore, innovations in computer science require breaking down large goals into small, manageable parts. This book shows readers how achieving programmatic goals is not so different from achieving personal goals, elaborating on the mechanics of computer programming in an easy-to-follow way.
