Synopsis

With a clear writing style that is stripped of highly technical jargon, Programming Logic and Design, Introductory, Sixth Edition provides beginning programmers with a guide to developing structured program logic. The book's main goal is to introduce universal programming concepts, while enforcing good style and logical thinking along the way. The Sixth Edition will offer clearer explanations, reorganization to better reflect how programming languages are taught, increased emphasis on modularity, and two new appendices - Flowchart Symbols and Structures.

Review

"She (Joyce Farrell) nailed it! The book is very easy to read, great examples, and the video addition is fantastic. The logic is everything I am looking for in teaching a course like this that leads to additional programming courses. I hope she doesn't CHANGE a thing. I would be sick if she did. I did not like the 5th edition at all. My students understood the concepts and with one chapter shorter, I was able to go slower and really teach the concepts with phenomenal understanding by all. Tell Joyce, thank you for an outstanding book."
