Computational Thinking - (MIT Press Essential Knowledge) by Peter J Denning & Matti Tedre (Paperback)

The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible overview of computational thinking (CT), tracing its genealogy centuries before digital computers.

CT is not a set of concepts for programming but a way of thinking honed through practice, with six dimensions identified in the book: methods, machines, computing education, software engineering, computational science, and design.

The authors debunk inflated claims while making clear the power of CT in all its complexity and multiplicity.

This comprehensive guide is perfect for anyone interested in understanding the fundamentals of CT and its applications across various fields.
