This review is from: Learn C and Save Your Job: C for COBOL Programmers (Paperback)

Ken introduces the Cobol Programmer to C. He does a very good job of translating the concepts and principle. My problem with it is there are no exercises to test you. If he had included that I woud have called it a complete book. But in terms of understanding concepts I recommend it to any Cobol programmer. I still refer to it when I have problems understanding something in C or C++
