N2  - "This is a book for problem solvers working within the programming function, an area that can encompass such diverse tasks as software system design and development, language selection, testing and debugging, documentation, data design, training and evaluating software products. This book is designed to help us become better programmers, program developers, system analysts. Its main objective is to give students the tools with which to generalize their skills within the programming function rather than simply concentrate on learning a particular programming language. This book covers the elements common to many programming languages and discusses the features that make many of these languages unique. It is designed to give the reader a passing familiarity with the major programming languages used in commercial applications and an appreciation for the growing interest in the computing community in new programming methodologies, tools and environments. The textbook has been organized around a unifying theme: structure."
