Becoming a Computational Thinker: Success in the Digital Age has a single purpose: to help everyone become a computational thinker. Computational thinking (CT) is thinking informed by the digital age, and a computational thinker is someone who can apply that thinking every- where and anywhere. Through practical examples and easy-to-grasp terminology, this book is a guide to navigating the digital world and improving one's efficiency, productivity, and success immediately. Given their pervasiveness, knowledge and experience of computation are a cornerstone of productivity, and improved thinking will only lead to advances in every aspect of one's life. In this way, CT can be thought of as the mutual reinforcement of thinking and knowledge of computation in the digital age. Comprising a rich collection of self-contained articles that can be read separately, and illustrated by pictures, images and article-end crossword puzzles, this book is an engaging and accessible route to ‘Becoming a Computational Thinker’ and achieving ‘Success in the Digital Age’. Aimed at the general reader, this book provides insights that can be applied across the full spectrum of industries and practices, helping readers to not only adapt and function in the digital world but also take advantage of new technologies and even innovate new ways of doing things.
