摘要：
The intent of Stanford's CS105 Introduction to Computing class is the introductory computing class for non-majors. The class starts asking students to read and then write an Amazon-style review for Douglas Rushkoff's book, Program or Be Programmed [12]. This book is used to help provide the justification to students for the inclusion of computer programming in CS105 - students find programming the hardest part of the course, and it is important for them to understand why programming is included. © 2015 ACM
