Description
Specialisation in software has become a thing of the past. With the move towards graphical user interface programming, engineers must
have a sound knowledge of several programming languages and for the first time most of the main technical languages are introduced in
a single volume.
All the example programs included relate to real life applications to provide a long needed reference that students
will find invaluable throughout their studies, and a definitive guide for professional developers requiring an insight into other languages.
Using C++ and Pascal to provide a basic grounding in software development the author then goes on to introduce more advanced concepts
such as object-orientated design through the development of C++. Sections on Visual Basic and 80X86 Assembly Language follow before Java,
Windows, NT and DOS are introduced, finishing with an overview of the UNIX system.
Audience:
Undergraduate engineers of all disciplines, in particular electrical and electronic engineers.
