 I've never had so much fun making flowcharts in my life!, 2006-06-22
I used this book in my college Beginning Logic Class. This book has basic concepts for the way computer programs work and how a developer's mind needs to work.
The whole book is mostly flowcharts and pseudocode which makes it easy for a beginner to learn how data is manipulated. The pseudocode is great. It's plain english which helps a beginner understand how the different programming languages use their commands without teaching a specific language.
It has simple step by step instructions and great end of chapter quizzes. The review sections are a great way to reinforce the information provided within the chapter.

Better then I thought..., 2003-02-28
Nice book for those wanting to really do something with any programming language. Although the examples are all in QBasic and Visual Basic, the concepts are applied in pretty much all popular languages today. I found this book to be less boring then I thought it would be when I first looked at it.

Will Make You or Break You as a Beginner Programmer, 2000-07-14
I purchased this textbook for a class and found it to be very good in illustrating programs in a language-independent manner. (Flowcharts and pseudocodes are used instead of a specific language.) The exercises in the back of each chapter are helpful, but become tougher and tougher, demanding more time and detail. If you can't handle these exercises perhaps you picked the wrong career! What's the justification for the price tag? (Previously released as an anonymous reader.)
