Synopsis

When it comes to learning Turbo Pascal, no one provides your students with more than Elliot Koffman. No other author presents the concepts and techniques of Pascal programming more precisely or in a more accessible manner. With a highly visual format and a straightforward, easy-to-understand approach, Koffman has earned a reputation as the number one resource for introducing beginning students to the fundamentals of programming.Now, this leading text has been revised to make it even easier for students to learn Pascal. The fifth edition incorporates the best of earlier editions--with a highly refined text, redesigned layouts, enhanced learning features, and updated material throughout. All of these significant improvements work together to give CS1 students what they need most--a solid foundation in programming.Features * Streamlined and thoroughly redesigned to further enhance the author's already readable prose. 30% new exercises and programming projects. * Greater emphasis on problem solving. The five-step problem-solving methodology demonstrates a solid approach to better program design. * Coverage of object-oriented programming has been amplified. * New interviews with computer scientists show students the breadth of the subject area, review current issues, and provide a look at the background preparation needed for success in these fields.
