Simply Series (for the classroom, self-study and distance learning programs)
 This Deitel Simply Series combines the our signature live-code approach (emphasizing complete, working programs, rather than code snippets, and always showing sample outputs) with an application-driven methodology, in which readers build real-world
applications that incorporate programming
fundamentals. Using a step-by-step tutorial approach,
readers learn programming basics. Each successive tutorial
builds on previous concepts and
introduces new programming features. Many Simply Series books also
include higher-end topics such as database programming,
multimedia and graphics, and Web applications development. These books are appropriate for the classroom, for self-study and for distance learning programs.

Simply Series Testimonials:
"This is a really innovative approach to the
presentation of basic programming concepts. The
tutorials are subdivided into small, easily
understood pieces as a concept program is
developed." —Ed Brunjes, Miramar College
"This text is ideal for self-learning. It not only teaches all the important fundamentals, but also demonstrates right from the first tutorial how easy it is to rapidly build all kinds of useful applications. Anyone can become an effective programmer simply by working through this text." —Jim Huddleston, Independent Consultant
"What especially impressed me about the text is the absolutely wonderful sets of exercises that the authors have included to motivate students to learn programming. I'm really looking forward to using this text in the classroom." —Ed Weihrauch, Community College of Allegheny County |
