From the Back Cover
As beginning programmers enter the field of COBOL programming, their desire is to learn basic COBOL concepts expediently. This book is written for these beginning programmers and students taking their first course in COBOL, and it also brings further clarification to the experienced programmer.
Faced with textbooks that are "too technical" or "too intimidating," beginning programmers at DeVry embraced this text, which teaches the language in a "simplified" manner—students see a program completely broken down so that they know exactly what a COBOL program does during its process. It provides a step-by-step method for learning the language.
The book is packaged with a data disk containing a working copy of each of the programs outlined in the text.
