I am interested in what people think of the introductory Pascal texts
on the market. I am in the process of revising my book, "A First
Course in Computer Programming Using Pascal" (McGraw-Hill, 1982).
This book has been quite successful and has been translated into
Spanish, Italian, and French. If you have pet peeves about
introductory Pascal books, or suggestions about them in general, I am
most interested in hearing them. (Please send replies directly to
ark@ut-sally.UUCP directly or to
{gatech,harvard,ihnp4,pyramid,seismo}!ut-sally!ark to avoid
unnecessary postings to net mailing lists.)
Anyone teaching introductory Pascal who would like a complimentary
copy of the second edition when it becomes available may send me your
name, affiliation including mailing address, estimated annual
enrollment, and name of current text. This is your chance to actually
influence a textbook you will be able to use.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation. My apologies in advance to
uninterested individuals whose time I have used.
