Simple Program Design, A Step-by-Step Approach, Fifth Edition / Edition 5

by Lesley Anne Robertson

Overview

Simple Program Design: A Step by Step Approach is written for programmers who want to develop good programming skills for solving common business problems. The fifth edition has been thoroughly revised in keeping with modern program design techniques. The easy-to-follow instructional style has been retained along with the language-independent approach to program design. Stressing structured programming and modular design, pseudocode is used as the major program design technique.

About the Author

Lesley Anne Robertson was introduced to pseudocode design methodology when she joined IBM, Australia, in 1973 as a trainee programmer. Since then she has consistently used these techniques as a programmer, a systems analyst, and finally a lecturer in computing at the University of Western Sydney, NSW, where she taught computer program design for 11 years. Lesley now lives on a vineyard and winery in Mudgee, NSW, with her daughters, Lucy and Sally.
