Description
This text book is primarily intended as a beginners text for any non-specialist who requires a basic introduction programming concepts and techniques. It is assumed that the reader has no previous knowledge of computers and programming, and will not necessarily gain any detailed knowledge from any other subject area, the book has two main aims, to teach the basic concepts of programming and to use the features of the programming language PASCAL to do so. These two aims should however, be seen as quite distinct.
