This book was perfect. Jeff Duntemann didn't tell us what to do, but how to do what we wanted. It is the perfect "bible" for anyone seriously interested in PASCAL programming. I'm a student of programming, and I never leave home without it. His reasoning and real-life examples along with a good sense of humor make it an excellent programming book even if the concepts are the only thing you need. I still use it for C++ to look up his analogies.

I'm a student programmer and was having trouble understanding
the techno babble in all of my other text books. I took it
upon myself to go out and buy a book that would explain
programming to me in terms I could understand and relate to.
I'd read Visual Developer (PC Techniques) magazine and knew
that Jeff Duntemann was one of the editors and enjoyed
reading his articles. I found this book written by him and
took a chance. As the title says, it does take you from
Square One and moves you easily through Pascal programming,
step by step. Mr. Duntemann uses his wit and good sense of
humor to keep you wanting to read and learn more. He has
actually found a way to make learning computer programming
fun!! I would definitely recommend this book to any
beginning or intermediate programmer whether you are a student
or just wanting to learn at home on your own.
