Book Description:

Prepare beginning programmers with the most important principles for developing structured program logic with Farrell's highly effective PROGRAMMING LOGIC AND DESIGN, COMPREHENSIVE, 7E. This popular text takes a unique, language-independent approach to programming with a distinctive emphasis on modern conventions. The book's clear, concise writing style eliminates highly technical jargon while introducing universal programming concepts and encouraging a strong programming style and logical thinking. This edition's clearer, revised explanations utilize flowcharts, pseudocode and diagrams to ensure even readers with no prior programming experience fully understand programming and design concepts. Farrell's proven learning features help students gain a better understanding of the scope of programming today while common business examples help illustrate key points. This edition's comprehensive approach prepares readers for all programming situations with introductions to object-oriented concepts, UML diagrams and databases as students’ progress. Use this proven book alone or with a language-specific companion text that emphasizes C++, Java or Visual Basic for the introduction your students need for solid logic and programming success.
