Summary: Tools for Structured Design
Review: I gone through this book. This book really nice for the begainer, those who do not have previous programming knowledge and any student can use this book as a beginning programming language class.

Summary: Will Make You or Break You as a Beginner Programmer
Review: 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.)

Summary: Very good place to start learning programing
Review: I thought it was well put together and in an easy to grasp manner. I read it for a class and because it was so straight foward and easy to understand nobody in my class got below a b. I would highly recomend it for someone who is just starting out and wants a basis for programing. Also of all the computer class I've taking this book had the least errors.

Summary: Elementary programming book -- overpriced
Review: I was compelled to buy this book for a course that I have to take at a community college to allow me admission to courses that I want to take. Amazon.com describes the book as having over 400 pages. It does not. It has a little over 300 pages, it is paperback, and it costs over $70! If you have absolutely no concept of, or experience with programming, then this book will give you a firm foundation, but at too high a price. Otherwise, skip it.

Summary: Better then I thought...
Review: 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.

Summary: Essential tool for learnign flow charting
Review: This book has been a big help in my course studies in flowcharting and programming logic. The majority of the book is very helpful with lots of examples of flowchating and pseudocode to compare the flowcharts with. I recommend it to anyone that has to do flowcharting.
