Cobol for the 21st Century
Nancy Stern, Robert A. Stern, James P. Ley
Résumé
Despite years of dire predictions, COBOL is still
thriving. In fact, it's practically a perennial. New
version of COBOL for PCs now enable you to use COBOL to
develop interesting graphical user interfaces, create Web
pages, and even incorporate components from other languages
such as Visual Basic.
Now with COBOL FOR THE 21ST CENTURY, 10/E, you can take
advantage of these exciting new developments and learn how
to become a master COBOL programmer.
Features:
* Includes new integrated coverage of interactive
programming.
* Shows how to design programs that area easy to read,
debug, modify, and maintain.
* Covers information processing and systems concepts that
will help you interact with users and systems analysts when
designing programs.
* Introduces you to programming tools such as pseudocode
and hierarchy charts that make program logic more
structured, modular, and top-down.
* Presents useful techniques for maintaining and modifying
older "legacy" programs.
* Includes a student CD containing all data for all
programming assignments as well as the full Practice
Program from each chapter.
