      ABSTRACT

      This chapter starts by introducing readers to computer programming through a simple program. It then establishes the main idea of this book that programming is not about memorizing the syntax of different languages but thinking algorithmically. Through analogies with artistic creativity and cultural interaction, this chapter defines the key terms algorithm and logical creativity. It then reviews the software development process to establish other key definitions, such as those for programming, coding, implementation, and design. The software design process is presented as a way of creating more complex units, or modules, from simpler ones, i.e., modularization. This chapter ends with explaining such modularization as the primary approach used in this book to explain various programming concepts.
