Kenneth Lambert

Lambert's FUNDAMENTALS OF PYTHON: FIRST PROGRAMS, 3rd EDITION, uses an easygoing, conversational writing style to introduce programming and problem solving to students from all types of backgrounds. This edition is designed so that the program examples gradually transition from simple snippets to realistic applications. These applications include graphics, image processing, graphical user interfaces and data visualization.

An exposition on individuation including 'Archetypes, Individuation and Internal Objects' and 'The Individuation Process'

Whether you are a computer programming student, hobbyist or professional, Lambert's FUNDAMENTALS OF PYTHON™: DATA STRUCTURES, 2E offers the perfect introduction to object-oriented design and data structures using the popular Python™ programming language. The level of instruction is ideal if you've had at least one semester of programming experience in an object-oriented language, such as Java™, C++ or Python™. Step-by-step explanations and focused exercises clearly explain the design of collection classes with polymorphism and inheritance and multiple implementations of collection interfaces. This edition also addresses the analysis of the space/time tradeoffs of different collection implementations and, specifically, array-based implementations and link-based implementations. You learn to work with collections, including sets, lists, stacks, queues, trees, dictionaries and graphs. Prepare for success with FUNDAMENTALS OF PYTHON™: DATA STRUCTURES, 2E.

Master today's required computer science topics while preparing for further study with Lambert's FUNDAMENTALS OF PYTHON: FIRST PROGRAMS. This book's easygoing approach is ideal, no matter what your background. The approach starts with simple algorithmic code and then scales into working with functions, objects, and classes as the problems become more complex and require new abstraction mechanisms. Rather than working only with numeric or text-based applications like other introductory texts, this edition presents graphics, image manipulation, GUIs, and simple networked client/server applications. The author uses Python's standard Turtle graphics module to introduce graphics and to provide open source frameworks for easy image processing and GUI application development.

Completely revised and updated, Fundamentals of Java: Comprehensive Course, Third Edition covers all of the AP requirements for Computer Science Exams A and AB. By taking a multilevel approach to teaching Java, this text is suitable for a wide range of students, from beginners to those ready for advanced data structures. Since it is non-software specific, it can be used with any Java program compiler, including Borland, Sun Microsystems, Symantec and others.
