Each chapter is filled with example code, and is capped off with a set of programming exercises. Suggested solutions for the programs are included, making this book an ideal text for classroom use.

Responding to a predicted shortage of teaching staff as post-secondary education expanded during the 1960s, Cornell University proposed a Six-year Ph.D. Program allowing gifted students to complete requirements for an A.B. degree in three years, an M.A. or M.S. degree in their fourth year and a doctorate in their sixth. The Ford Foundation agreed to fund this accelerated education experiment for a period of ten years. The Program launched with forty-eight secondary-school graduates in the summer of 1966. Eight Cornell students, three from this program, and a faculty member perished in a 5 April 1967 dormitory fire. Two subsequent May 1967 fires in residences occupied by students who survived the April fire convinced authorities that they were dealing with a serial-firebug, most likely one of the Ph.D. Program students. A University policy of "official silence," a muted Fourth Estate, and town-gown complicity led to cessation of the criminal investigation that summer. A single lawsuit was quietly settled with the University conceding negligence, and within a year, the tragedy was officially forgotten. In 2013, the case was revisited by an amateur historian who discovered that the coverup was still in effect a half-century later.
