Pascal Summary

Pascal by Elliot B. Koffman

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.
