Product Description

Review
‘I urge you to read this book especially if you’re concerned with user manuals. If all books were presented with such clarity, much time and effort would be saved.’ Computer Bulletin

‘I wish this book had been around when I was learning Pascal.’ Personal Computer World

‘Very few books have made learning a computer language as easy as this one has, and it can be recommended to all.’ ST World Magazine

‘ … this is a book that’s a joy to recommend to anyone wishing to start writing Pascal programs.’ Personal Computer Weekly

‘Don’t buy a book on Pascal until you’ve looked at this illuminating and illuminated manuscript.’ Personal Computing with the Amstrad

Product Description
This book, written entirely by hand, is an introduction to programming in Pascal. It starts with the fundamental concept of a stored program and works through to the manipulation of records in dynamic storage. The style of presentation is pictorial. This book may be used as a self-contained reference manual for Pascal to BS 6192 and ISO 7185. Besides defining the statements and structures of Pascal this book illustrates the use of such features in small but complete programs. These programs introduce fundamental techniques of programming such as symbol-state tables, bubble sort, quicksoft, stacks and queues, reverse Polish notation, linked lists, shortest-route technique, doubly linked rings, binary trees, hashing technique and other tools of the programmer’s trade.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blimely, this book is still out there, 21 Feb 2000
By Tony Westwater (London,England) - See all my reviews
I you are new to coding and your first language is Pascal. This book is very readable. It's 'handwritten' style can be a tad annoying but it all helps it feel like this a book written by a friend to help you out. Examples are clear and explaing the concepts of programming that will last, (I've been coding for 10 years, this was my first book bought 10 years ago).

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best book ever written on the subject., 23 Oct 2001
By A Customer
I bought this book many years ago while first learning to program. Written in a friendly informative style the book proved invaluable.

The author chooses to present his books in a handwritten style. The means the book looks like someone scribbled notes into an exercise book and jotted some illustrations around the text. Although unusual I think this style works.

If I had to recommend any book on Pascal this would be the one.

Would be useful for someone who needed a crash course in Pascal for a Delphi project maybe. Although wouldn't cover the OO extensions.
