"the best programming book of all time"
In college had a CS professor once say "this was the best programming book of all time." ... Funny considering he taught out of one of the text books he wrote

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Pascal programmers
    Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2014
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    An old classic, a good introduction for Pascal programmers. If you are not a Pascal junkie, Wirth's Modula-2 version is better, (supplemented with Compiler Construction, as the compiler introduction is not in the M2 version).

    If you teach or write about computer science, you will end up collecting the pivotal works. Touching the real thing is so much better than using the reprints.

    The book is marked as in good quality. The dust jacket is a little messed up and there is some water stains on the inside, but the binding is solid and the pages are all in great condition. I would definitely buy another book from them.

    Thanks!

    Excellent, the best first book on this subject (I am a specialist of this field.) , especially the last chapter, which, in just one chapter, shows how a working compiler can be this concise (in 400 lines).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fondamentale per qualunque informatico
    Reviewed in Italy on August 26, 2020
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Né il libro né l'autore hanno bisogno di presentazioni: questo testo è uno dei capisaldi dell'informatica, scritto da uno dei pionieri della disciplina.
    Il libro è diviso in cinque capitoli:
    1. Fundamental Data Structures
    2. Sorting
    3. Recursive Algorithms
    4. Dynamic Information Structures
    5. Language Structures and Compilers
    Il libro utilizza il Pascal come linguaggio di programmazione per illustrare gli esempi. Sia chiaro che questo NON è un manuale di Pascal, ma un libro di algoritmi e strutture dati che utilizza il Pascal al posto dello pseudocodice per illustrare i concetti. Il linguaggio viene comunque introdotto da zero, per coloro che fossero interessati; chi non è interessato potrà comunque seguire agevolmente le spiegazioni, dato che il linguaggio è auto-esplicativo.
    Alla luce di quanto sopra, questo libro NON è adatto a coloro che cercano un manuale "for dummies" da cui copia-incollare pezzi di codice. Al contrario, è un libro che va studiato con attenzione, operazione resa relativamente semplice dalla prosa chiara e scorrevole dell'autore.
    Ha senso un libro del genere negli anni 2000? Secondo me sì: quasi tutti i concetti illustrati nel libro sono indipendenti dal linguaggio di programmazione e valgono ora come valevano quando è stato scritto. Ritengo che il Pascal, pur con i suoi limiti (peraltro superati nelle versioni moderne del linguaggio), continui ad essere un ottimo linguaggio didattico e non solo.
    L'unico mio rammarico è che questo libro sia ormai da anni fuori stampa, e si trovi solo usato. Ritengo che non dovrebbe mancare nella libreria di ogni informatico/a.

    My previous copy went AWOL during a house move. This one is a keenly-priced Indian edition. Excellent value for what, IMO, is one of the great classic programming textbooks.
