what does it compare to?, thank you..

Hello Armando:
Modula-2 closely resembles Pascal (both were created by N. Wirth).

So is Modula-2 an older programming language?, i'v only heard of it here, the reason i talk about pascal is that it is said to be one of the easier languages to learn from, but i dunno..., what do you think of turbo-C?, what is that like?, i was thinking its similar to C but more advanced in its size... thanks...

So where would i start if i wanted to learn?, i'm rather ambitious to
see what it is like, is there a good book on this Modula-2, if you have
any names please do so and reply, thanks...

Hello Armando:
K. N. King has a very good book, "Modula-2: A Complete Reference." I use that book most of the time. Another good books is "Advanced Modula-2 Programming" by Herb Schildt (spelling?).
Pat Terry (who is on this echo regularly) also has an excellent book (though I am embarassed for forgetting the name).
A good place to start learning is either to download FST Modula-2 2.
xx (shareware) or otherwise purchase a Modula-2 compiler. I am not sure about you, but I learn best woring hands-on.

Heck i'm going to give it a try, i have all summer, i've been wanting to learn how to program in a good recommended language anyhow, well i know just the place to get books on this, anyone have any source codes in modula-2 so i can get the idea of what it's structure will be like for the mean time? thanks Peter for a hand.. -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!106!601.0!Armando.Ortiz Internet: Armando.Ortiz@p0.f601.n106.z1.fidonet.org

This was copyrighted in 1986, and is based on Wirth's 3rd edition description of the language. I learned from it easily, and enjoy using it as a reference. One of the author's quirks is that he typeset it and did the illustrations himself. Looks nice enough, though. I like the train-track syntax diagrams he includes. The book as a whole makes the features and use of Modula-2 clear and fun. Lyle D.

Can anybody tell me if and where I can get a good Public Domain/Shareware/... Modula-2 Compiler? Preferably in Holland (assuming this is an int. area, I can't really tell from my XRS programme). If there is no such thing, which compiler is the best/cheapest to buy? PDV -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!2!512!124.10!Patrick.Verkaik Internet: Patrick.Verkaik@p10.f124.n512.z2.fidonet.org
