Introducing C to Pascal programmers
Comput. Lang. Vol. 14, No. 1, p. 61, 1989 PergamonPresspie. Printedin Great Britain
BOOK REVIEWS (Excerpted from Introductions)
Introducing C to Pascal Programmers. NAMIR SHAMMAS(John Wiley) This introductory book is written for the Pascal programmer who wants to learn C using microcomputer implementations. The basic presentation strategy employs listings in Pascal and their equivalent versions in C. This permits the reader to learn about the similarities and differences between the two languages and gradually develop a working knowledge of C.
An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and SmaHtalk. LEWISJ. PINSON and RICHARDS. WIENER (Addison-Wesley) This book aims to present the principles of object-oriented problem solving through discussion of concepts, through summary descriptions of the Smalltalk image, and through presentation of examples that illustrate the concepts. In addition, it provides an easy-to-use primer for objectoriented programming in Smalltalk for professional computer scientists/programmers/engineers who wish to understand object-orient programming methodology. It is also intended as a textbook at the advanced undergraduate or early graduate level. Applying Turbo Pascal Library Units. NAMIR C. SHAMMAS(John Wiley) The focus of this book is applying Turbo Pascal library units to popular data structures and algorithms, and it is intended for the average to advanced Turbo Pascal programmer in all disciplines. It demonstrates building interrelated software toolkits and presents a number of techniques in the areas of software documentation and mapping the use of various components of different libraries involved in a software application.
The Synthesizer Generator: A System for Constructing Language-Based Editors. THOMASW. REVS and TIM TEITELBAUM(Springer) This is a detailed account of the Synthesizer Generator, a system for creating specialized editors that are customized for editing particular languages. The book is intended for those with an interest in software tools and in methods for building interactive systems and particularly for those using the Synthesizer Generator to build editors, because it provides extensive discussions of how to write editor specifications. It should also be valuable for those building specialized editors "by hand", without using an editor-generating tool.
Standard Relational and Network Database Languages. E. J. YANNAKOUDAKISand C. P. C~ENG (Springer) This may be used as a textbook for students at the undergraduate or postgraduate level. It is also useful for the database administrator, the database programmer who will use the commands described to develop application programs, and the database analyst who collects the enterprise data and proceeds to outline the logic of each application for implementation with a database language.
