Maybe you folks can help settle an ongoing arguement. Bruce says that James Martin's books are classics right up there with the Ivan Flores series. I say Bruce is wrong. Neither of us have had alot of formal cs courses ( I had a courses on introduction to the world of computers at Atlantic City Community College while Bruce did advanced RPG II ). I still think that Wirth writes better books than either Flores or Martin. Besides didn't Wirth get a prize for computers or something? :wq
