• A DOS-based disk containing all programs in the text so you can get immediate feedback on the programs you write.
• Complete program examples so you can avoid potentially confusing program fragments
• A checklist of potential trouble spots and likely errors to help you avoid mistakes and debug programs.
• Multiple versions of example programs that start simple then gradually expand as you learn how to use various language features to make the program more efficient.
• Case studies to show how to build big programs from small pieces.
