About the textbook.
Surveying the field of computing is a survey of techniques and results from computer science. The book surveys a number of areas, presenting a mix of important and interesting results, spanning the fundamentals of computer programming, game playing, Internet architecture, and algorithm design. The book intentionally avoids much of the traditional early computer science curriculum, to complement these courses with a survey of things to come.
