5.0 out of 5 stars A Superior Introduction to OO-COBOL, January 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: An Introduction to Object COBOL (Paperback)

For the individual who has a strong COBOL background and needs an introduction to applying that knowledge to the Object Oriented concepts and approach to programming. This is the best introductory book I have seen to date. (01/99). It is written in a straightforward manner, with a high degree of clarity, and is easily understood.
