About The Book

"Explorations in Computing: An Introduction to Computer Science and Python Programming" by John S. Conery is an engaging textbook designed to introduce students to the exciting field of computer science. The book adopts an active learning approach, enabling students to explore fundamental concepts of computing through hands-on, interactive lab projects.

It is particularly well-suited for introductory computer science courses (CS0 and CS1) and is designed for modern lecture styles, including flipped classrooms. The book now uses Python programming, allowing students to gain valuable coding skills while learning key computer science concepts. The transition from the book’s labs to more advanced Python-based work prepares students for continued success in later computer science courses.

This textbook guides students through practical, step-by-step projects that illustrate important concepts such as algorithms and computational problem-solving. Students will develop their programming skills and gain a deep understanding of computer science principles through these interactive labs.

The accompanying web resources provide essential Python software modules, data files, and sample code, allowing students to copy, modify, and experiment with the material at their own pace.
