The Darkness is Coming

Ann has a problem.  In fact the whole kingdom has a problem.  It is about to be overwhelmed by the approaching darkness and only Ann can stop this from happening.

We don't know what the darkness is, or how to stop it.  

What do you think the darkness might be?

Computer science is inherently a way of thinking about problems.  How can you route pieces of information across a distributed network that spans the globe?  How can you render pictures that look more realistic?  How can I get this stupid program to stop crashing?

The answers to these questions build on a set of core concepts - approaches to solving fundamental problems in computer science.  This book focuses on these core concepts, the problems they address and how the concepts can be combined to solve even larger and more complex problems.

Before any of that however, Ann needs to learn how to quest.  To find out she will use the first and perhaps most important of all these ideas.  The Algorithm.
