Synopsis

This text is a basic introduction to programming which emphasizes procedural logic, problem solving, and program design in addition to language syntax. It focuses on the practical uses of programming language rather than the language itself. It gives coverage of procedural logic and language coding. Based on their own teaching experience, the authors believe that students who learn programming logic and language coding side-by-side tend to feel more comfortable with the material, learn more confidently, and are more capable of applying what they have learned to later courses. The text provides instructions that are usable with Microsoft QuickBasic, QBasic, or Visual Basic for MS-DOS. It is designed so that students master simple concepts and techniques before moving on to more advanced topics. The "What You Should Know" boxes emphasize and highlight critical concepts and serve as a reference and study aid. Exercise disks packaged with the text allow students to use the computer to explore programming concepts and test their understanding. The application exercises have a pragmatic, real-world perspective which aim to stimulate and encourage students to enforce practical learning.
