Wow. "Oh Pascal!" was a fantastic book, both for the content (going from beginner to a bit intermediate (1), in a single, not too thick book) and for the fun and engaging writing style, and with very good production values too, meaning the book's appearance. IIRC, it was written by one or two US postgraduate college students or professors. My uncle, who was himself a college professor in the States, brought it for me on one of his visits to us, as a present, because he knew I was learning computers. And during that visit, I wrote a small scientific program for him in Turbo Pascal, to use in his lab. (1) Why I said "a bit intermediate" is because it had, near the end of the book, a program to do text concordances, and maybe one or two other non-trivial ones too. |
