Good for beginners, with a little tough reading

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2000

This was the required text for my Intro to Programming college class. If you have never programmed before, this is a good book to start with, because Pascal is a language built for teaching skills you can continue to use in the future. The author does a pretty clear job of explaining things, although you learn a lot faster in lectures than just sitting down with the book. (Although is can be tricky to find a Pascal Compiler nowadays.)

The examples are pretty good, and arranged so you build on what you already know. He doesn't try to overload the reader with too much information. However, there are topics that take a lot of thinking and some experience. Make sure you have a compiler available so you can write and run programs when you go thru the book, or it's easy to get lost. If you have someone who can help explain some of the more difficult ideas to you, or if you already know what you're doing, you should be set.

I personally used the book more as a reference than something to read straight through. The book has excellent forms for function syntax which stand out to the reader, so they are easy to find if you are trying to fix compile errors. One *major* drawback for new programmers is that because it is organized as a teaching text, you don't get the answers to the examples. (Unless you want to buy the teacher's edition...)

If you have programmed before, it will be much easier to understand the concepts, although if you're really intent on learning how, this book has everything you'll need to start out from scratch.

My great Programming Guider----Elliot B. Koffman..

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2000

I would totally recommend the Book_ TURBO PASCAL 5th Edition Elliot B. Koffman for all programming student and people who are interested in programming. Junior student are Highly recommend as well.Even you are the first time reading programming books before. The book is easy to read ,you will learn the right programming skills and methods which are applicable to writing other computer Language as well in the future..e.g C or C++programming.
Totally 18 chapters in the book,I finished each chapter each day and I can write complex program structure at my work station.
The great MOTIVATION when reading this book is ,unlike other programming textbook so boring, this book also have an INTERVIEW to different Professional people who studying or working with computer in University , or professional Governmental departments with discussing variety of computer science topics in different professional points of view after you finished each chapter. So you will find interesting and enriched after finished each chapter and assignment questions seriouly. LIKE READING A STORY BOOK OR HAVING A PROGRAMMING LECTURE WITH INTERNATIONAL POINTS OF VIEW.
Programming often gives us a first impression that it is tedious.But Elliot really did a good thing to make it simple and more HUMAN there. Which is 21th Century demanding for!

Excellent!

This was one of my college texts if I recall. Those were the best days of computers and programming. There isn't much new under the sun these days in computers. Just faster and larger.
