Summary: An excellent approach to structured programming design
Comment: Ms Robertson's book is an excellent first text in program design problem solving. It offers easily understood techniques, in an almost cookbook fashion, to employ in analyzing and designing a program. Taking you from the basic steps to designing a simple program to modular construction in larger programs, the text guides the student step by step to success. On the negative side, while there is mention of object oriented programming in the text, very little is developed in this area. I would truly like to see a modest improvement of the text in this area. A step by step approach to object development and interaction in program design is sorely needed. In addition, while pseudocode is thoroughly explored as a valuable tool in program design, and N-S diagrams are addressed in a supplemental section, little is addressed vis-a-vis flow charts. All-in-all, however, this book's value far exceeds its modest price.

Summary: Excellent basic programming text
Comment: 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.

Summary: Pretty good for beginniners
Comment: This was my first time reading any kind of programming book. This does a good job at introducing programming logic simply, and gradually getting more difficult. The exercises at the end of each chapter are helpful as well. I didn't find the book extremely challenging. If you're a fairly analytical thinking person, the logic should make sense. I had to purchase this for a class - but I'd recommend it.
