Introduction to Business Data Processing
The overall organization of this text enables the reader to develop a fundamental knowledge of the computer prior to the discussions of programming and systems analysis and design. Each chapter is written as an independent unit. providing complete coverage of a topic within its content. Thus. if an instructor desires to cover a chapter out of sequence. the continuity of the presentation will not be adversely affected.
Classroom testing has proved the chapter organization used in this text to be effective. Chapters 1 to 5 present material consistent with most introductory data processing courses. The material covered provides students with principles fundamental to data processing. enabling them to begin programming. Chapter 6. Flowcharting. provides a strong foundation for the programming chapters that follow.
Chapter 7 introduces programming and programming languages. The computer languages BASIC and COBOL are discussed in Chapters 8 and 9. respectively. Program solutions developed in these chapters are closely tied to the flowcharting problems discussed in Chapter 6.
Instructors are also free to develop solutions they have specifically employed in the past.
