Product Description

Product Description

Simple Program Design: A Step by Step Approach, Fifth Edition is written for programmers who want to develop good programming skills for solving common business problems. The fifth edition has been thoroughly revised in keeping with modern program design techniques. The easy-to-follow instructional style has been retained along with the language-independent approach to program design. Stressing structured programming and modular design, pseudocode is used as the major program design technique.

As a teacher of computing, I was looking for ideas on how to present algorithm design for my pupils who were starting from a position of no knowledge. This book helped immensely and in the process improved my own approaches. It focuses on the use of pseudo-code although it demonstrates the use of flow charts and Nassi-Schneiderman diagrams in the detailed appendices. The book is thin but covers a lot of useful subject matter including methods of analysing a problem and developing a solution, how to write pseudo-code, selection, iteration, sequence, array processing, simple sorting, modulisation/cohesion and coupling, typical general business algorithms (e.g. sequential file update, report generation) and two chapters on object oriented design including interfaces and GUI objects. All in all, everything you need for a solid grounding in algorithm design. After working through this book, I was able to give my pupils a solid, structured understanding of algorithm design and to equip them with the skillsets they needed to handle more complex problems.

I enjoyed this book, it presented ideas on how you can plan program designs more accurately. While you need to have a basic knowledge of programming the text is still valuable to a novice programmer.

I used this book in an introductory programming class shortly after it was published. It provided the most "bang for the buck." It covers the basics of programming in a thorough manner, providing coverage of basic control sturctures and arrays. I highly recommend this book. Its value lies in the fact that it can be adapted to any programming language, since the topics covered are germain and found in all programming languages. It is an excellent introduction to programming and computer languages. Master the topics covered here, and you will have a handle to program in any computer programming language.
