The new edition of Walter Savitch's Turbo Pascal, 7.0 opens the door to a powerful new programming environment--Turbo Pascal 7.0! Based on the recently-released compiler from Borland, Savitch's Fourth Edition combines a modern approach to computer science and programming with up-to-date coverage of the new Turbo Pascal 7.0 environment. In this new edition, you'll find an emphasis on software engineering principles, early coverage of units and abstract data types, and a comprehensive chapter on algorithm efficiency including Big "O" Notation. In addition, the text provides an optional chapter on object-oriented programming for instructors who wish to introduce their students to this advanced programming approach. 0805304185B04062001

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Walter John Savitch (born February 21, 1943) is best known for discovering the complexity class NL (nondeterministic logarithmic space), and for Savitch's theorem, which defines a relationship between the NSPACE and DSPACE complexity classes. His work in establishing complexity classes has helped to create the background against which non-deterministic and probabilistic reasoning can be performed.

He has also done extensive work in the field of natural language processing and mathematical linguistics. He has been focused on computational computing as it applies to genetics and biology for over 10 years.

Aside from his work in theoretical computer science, Savitch has written a number of textbooks for learning to program in C/C++, Java, Ada, Pascal and others.

Savitch received his PhD in mathematics from UC Berkeley in 1969 under the supervision of Stephen Cook. Since then he has been a professor at UCSD where he is currently a professor emeritus in the computer science department.

This book covers Turbo Pascal but it is way too wordy.

I bought the book because I am using Free Pascal. Most of the books on Pascal that are available nowadays, are very old. Perhaps back in the 90s, authors felt a need to explain things in excruciating detail. I find it a bit annoying, and have to skip read to get what I want to know.

Great intro to Turbo Pascal

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2009

This is the best programming text I have ever found and I have close to a dozen on various languages. This is the first I have seen that gets into debugging and how to use the debugger. It has the best examples and exercises I have yet found. Too bad Pascal is considered 'obsolete', but this book is also great for general programming and program planning. I'm going to try to find C++ books by the same guy. My only complaint about this (and most other books) is that they assume you are already set up with the language. These days you mostly download the language from the internet and fuss around with installing it using DOS commands, etc. which are not always something the young folks know much about. Any book would be improved by a few pages on how to download, install and customize the language. At least this book went into detail on how to handle the IDE. Lots of them don't even do that.

I took classes on pascal in the 90's,it's fun,and not that hard to code in,it was my first computer language.

The book is more about how to write good code using Pascal. I needed more info on how to communicate with the COM port than writing code sp no 5 star.

Nice book, good material, but a little beat up. Covers the material well and has plenty of information about Turbo Pascal.

very good textbook

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2006

although this isn't my favorite pascal book, it's a good textbook without any major flaws.

EDIT: pascal is a dead language. for a simple but useful language, try Delphi (based on pascl) or Visual Basic.

I LOVED this book!

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2001

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.
