5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction book, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This could be the most comprehensive book which introduces the readers to programming logic and design. It should be the first choice of beginners learning logic and design, and a reference for the pro.

4.0 out of 5 stars Basics of programming, August 19, 2001

By	V. Baker "vbaker" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book as a requirement for my introductory programming course and it provided me with an excellent basis for the structures of programming.

It is a great book for beginning programmers to keep and refer back to from time to time. It is pretty basic for anyone other than a beginner though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for a beginners, December 4, 2003

By	Behzad Rafati "b_rafati" (Chatsworth, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Programming Logic and Design -- Comprehensive, Second Edition (Paperback)

I bought this book couple of months ago, and I finished now.
Absolutely is a great book for someone doesn't have programming background. And I suggest to get object oriented programming using C++ second edition by this author.
