5.0 out of 5 stars The Icon programming language 'bible'. Excellent., July 21, 1998
By A Customer
Icon is a mature, general-purpose programming language which is available for free on many platforms. It has a rich set of types: integers (of arbitrary size), reals, strings, lists, sets, tables, and records, together with an interesting goal-directed evaluation mechanism. The book is clear and user-friendly. Some prior programming experience necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Icon- minimum effort programming, November 22, 1999
By A Customer
The book presents this beautiful higher-level programming language in a clear and concise way. The capabilities of language and all its non-standart features and concepts are introduced at a set pace that makes a good reading even if you don't intend to write programs in Icon. Icon runs on almost all popular platforms and is a time saving general purpouse language with smart graphics capabilities. The book is writen by the developers of the Icon language, and it is the most complete reference for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Icon is the Swiss Army Knife of Programming Languages, June 30, 1998
By A Customer
Icon is a public domain pattern matching language follow-on to Snobol4 that runs everywhere(unix, windows, dos, mac). This book has all the documentation you need to learn the language. Get the entire Icon website on CDROM with the book Graphics Programming in Icon, by Griswold, Jeffery & Townsend. ISBN 1-57398-009-9
