Book Description

The first English book on Component Pascal and BlackBox

From the Back Cover

The first English book on Component Pascal and BlackBox Component Builder. It introduces the reader to computer programming, i.e. algorithms and data structures. The book covers many new programming concepts that have emerged in recent years including object-oriented programming and design patterns. It emphasizes the practical aspects of software construction without neglecting their solid theoretical foundation.
"As a result, students are always able to anchor what they learn in application scenarios that make immediate sense." (Prof. Clemens Szyperski, Redmond)
" ... a unique approach introducing all the modern things we did not have ten years ago: GUIs, components, frameworks, UML, design by contract, design patterns." (Prof. Karlheinz Hug, Reutlingen)

A complete and outstanding introduction to computing science

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

An excellent introduction to computing science, using an outstanding language, and providing something rarely provided in most introductory text: simple and unobtrusive coverage of Dijkstra's guarded language and principles of verification. This is one of the best introductory texts I've read. Though PDFs are free for download now, finding a printed copy is still valuable.

The version of Blackbox Component Builder used by the book is still available, though getting a newer version works quite well, but only on Windows.

Good book, great programming environmen

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

Component pascal is powerful, easy to maintain, and enjoyable to use. The book is a good guide to good programming practices, and teaches basic (and advanced) principles with understandable examples and explanations. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their skills, whether beginner or advanced programmer.

Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler. (A. Einstein)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2009

This very famous phrase was chosen by Prof. Niklaus Wirth as epigraph to the Oberon language report. Component Pascal is a superset of Oberon-2. Compared to Oberon-2, as usual for "Wirth programming languages line" (Algol -> Pascal -> Modula-2 -> Oberon -> Oberon-2) it provides several clarifications and improvements.

Using such powerful but simple programming language the author of this book reached the aim of introducing the computing fundamentals (languages & grammars, algorithms & data structures, OOP & OOAD, UML & design patterns, frameworks & GUI, ...) on just 600 pages! And if You think that 600 pages is a bit too much then look at the similar C++ book: C++ How to Program (6th Edition) . 1500 pages! And after such comparison the epigraph to the Deitel's book preface sounds a little bit ironic: "The chief merit of language is clearness ..." (Galen). Ancient philosopher was of course right, but C++ doesn't refer to such languages at all.

Superb book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a tutorial for beginners in programming that unlike most such actually goes out of its way to explain the concepts of object orientation and software components. While a few other beginners books deal with OO from the start, in particular those that use Java as the tutorial language, the component part is unheard in that kind of tutorial and frankly not to often encountered in more advanced programming courses either. The book is based on older teaching materials that Mr Warford used in the 90's and thus does not have many of the blatant errors you often find in first edition textbooks.

The only thing that has really dated in the book is the references to a Macintosh version of the Blackbox development system, but that died out with OS9, for windows users however the Blackbox system is currently developed and has in fact been open sourced, I had no problems using this book alongside Blackbox 1.6 in Windows 8.1 and Windows XP, and managed to run it in an emulator for a couple of other operating systems.

Highly recommended for beginning programmers, the book is well organised and the use of a structured programming language is much preferred as a learning tool even if you end up using your skills in an unstructured language like C++, since it will teach you the importance of properly structuring your programs, which is a lesson best learnt at the beginning.

Superb book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 11, 2011

Verified Purchase

Wonderful book written with big care. It uses the language Component Pascal and the framework BlackBox in order to teach you the essence of programming. It covers a lot of topics. You will learn very clearly what a framework based in the Model-View-Controller is. Many thanks to the author for his great work.
