Fundamentals of Structured Program Design

Especially designed for those with minimal computer experience, this book presents the concepts of program design in a simple, easy-to-understand "building block" format, and applies those design concepts to realistic business programs. Each chapter provides not only a complete explanation of what needs to be done in the design, but why. Uses two standard programs throughout, adding complexity one chapter at a time. Each chapter walks readers through the entire program design process, beginning with the assessment of the program specifications, through the development of the structure chart, and completing the design process with both flowcharts and pseudo code. For anyone wanting an easily-accessible, realistic applications-based introduction to program design.
