Summary
This book is about programming for data processing applications, and its purpose is to present a coherent method and procedure for designing systems, programs, and components. The main emphasis is on the structure: on the dissection of a problem into parts and the arrangement of those parts to form a solution. Each chapter features exercises and questions, which readers are encouraged to try and solve before reading the solution.
