With a clear writing style that is stripped of highly technical jargon, Programming Logic and Design, Introductory, Sixth Edition provides beginning programmers with a guide to developing structured program logic.

The Sixth Edition will offer clearer explanations, reorganization to better reflect how programming languages are taught, increased emphasis on modularity, and two new appendices - Flowchart Symbols and Structures.
