About the Book

Elliot Koffman has made it even easier to learn introductory programming concepts with Pascal. Incorporating the best of earlier editions, this book offers carefully refined explanations in a streamlined exposition. Featuring a new design, this shorter text allows students to concentrate on the essential topics. As always, Koffman makes the important connection between problem-solving skills and effective software development.
