    Cobol

This hands-on, up-to-date approach to COBOL demonstrates all concepts in example programs and walks readers through the design and writing of several real-life application programs.

Uses a design-and-write-the-program approach. Also teaches readers to draw a flowchart and pseudocode to design the program, and to develop the program from the design. Builds each chapter around a sample program that demonstrates the programming principles presented. It also features chapter assignments that build throughout the book. Each assignment is separate, but all link to the same basic problem. Includes a diskette with source code for all example programs.
