Using Turbo Pascal 6.0 - 7.0 [Paperback]

Julien Hennefeld (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0534943985 | ISBN-13: 978-0534943981 | Publication Date: October 2, 1994 | Edition: 3

Used at more than 100 institutions in its second edition, Using Turbo Pascal 6.0-7.0, Third Edition applies a highly successful formula of "learning by example" to your introductory Turbo Pascal programming course. The text uses small program segments as examples, breaking down the process of programming into a series of manageable steps. The author has added a new DOS tutorial and lab activities for using the Turbo 7.0 system, and given increased focus to the issue of how to write a program. The concept of procedures is introduced early in chapter 4 (in connection with top down programming design), and then is covered in detail in chapters 10 and 11, making it easy to cover or omit as needed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Beginner book if you have other resources, May 23, 2004

I am a very very beginner to programming and this is the first language that I am learning. Although I am pretty savvy with writing excel formulas, and little batch files, this book gives a clear explaination of theories to the novice programmer. This is important because a strong foundation must be laid before tackling code.

The only problem I have is some of the examples that they give in the book they dont explain in detail. For example, In chapter 4, they talk about "If then" statements and give an example but the example also has keywords in it that was not covered in the previous chapters. What do those keywords mean? If you are to introduce something that was not covered in the previous chapter, break the example down and explain the new example line by line.

Good book though so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Good, but not for the money", June 16, 1998

This review is from: Using Turbo Pascal 6.0 - 7.0 (Paperback)

This book is an excellent source of information for the beginning programmer, and is good at giving easy to understand demos. And it covers everything from doing math and producing output to the screen up to object-oriented programming and type arrays. But for the price is not as good as others! If you want to learn basics I recommend a different language (QBasic is best for basics) and the book QBasic Programming for Dummies is great! If you have any questions on Pascal, QBasic, or VB EMail me.
