Title: COBOL for Dummies by Arthur Griffith, Hodes ISBN: 0-7645-0298-0 Publisher: Hungry Minds, Inc Pub. Date: 30 October, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3 (12 reviews)

Summary: Good book, but be real
Comment: This book is well worth buying for those needing an introduction to COBOL. If you are getting it to get the Fujitsu compiler, be aware that it is the previous version and that it is available for free download from the Fujitsu web site.
Rating: 4
Summary: Just for the Beginner
Comment: If you never had any experience with COBOL, this book is the place to start. Although it doesn't give many full programs for you to see, it does help you understand the way the language works. As I said, this is a great book to start learning COBOL, and you can then go on to the other books to get deeper into the language. The only problem I encountered was the Fujitsu compiler is an expired version. I've been using COBOL since 1982 and this book is on my shelf.

Summary: This book is a good place to start
Comment: I picked up this book before I started my mainframe training and it was nice to have as a reference. If you have never programmed in COBOL before then this book is for you.
I have passed this book off to a fellow co-worker who is interested in learning COBOL.
This book only gives you the very basics and that is it. But I would suggest that you read this book before trying to tackle a more involved book. Also, I don't think that this book will help you code very well, but it is good for definitions and simple explanations.
