5.0 out of 5 stars
easy and informative
i definitely reccomend this for a beginning programmer in high school. adults will probably find it to be too simple (i nearly finished it in a month, and i'm in high school). EDIT: pascal is a dead language. for a simple but useful language, try Delphi (based on pascl) or Visual Basic.

why would you read this book?
In the abstract, this book is fine as a pedagogic means of understanding programming, and how to apply it to problems. But, as a practical matter, if you are going to spend the time in learning a computer language, Pascal is a bad choice. It is in steep decline as a language. Both in academia and industry. You would be far better served to choose a language...

But, as a practical matter, if you are going to spend the time in learning a computer language, Pascal is a bad choice. It is in steep decline as a language. Both in academia and industry.You would be far better served to choose a language that is used by more people. Try C++, Java, C# or Visual Basic. Or just plain old C. If nothing else, there are more jobs using these, than Pascal, which has sadly missed the boat. |
