5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the Computer Programmer's Bible for Pascal, October 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Turbo Pascal 7.0 (4th Edition) (Paperback)

This was my textbook for Pascal at the University at Central Florida. It has helped me through Computer Science I and II. It is well written and easy to understand. It helps for both the beginner and advanced programmers. This is a need for anyone who programs in Pascal.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to learn Pascal, August 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Turbo Pascal 7.0 (4th Edition) (Paperback)

The High School I attended used this book for its first-year programming course. It is well written, and clearly explains all of the basic concepts, without leaving out any of the more complex parts of the language

This review is from: Turbo Pascal 7.0 (4th Edition) (Paperback)

I will definitely be purchasing other books from this author. He has a very direct, and extremely clear way of explaining what would have otherwise been confusing principles.
