C Language for Programmers

by Ken Pugh

Downsizing, rightsizing, outsourcing, layoffs - however you say it, today's COBOL programmer is on the horns of a dilemma. The demand for COBOL programmers is not keeping pace with the supply resulting from the revolutionary changes in business data processing. Faced with unemployment or retraining, the survivors are retraining and learning new skills. Learn C and Save Your Job offers a quick and easy way for COBOL programmers to learn C - the language of open systems and the future. Ken Pugh, who's been retraining COBOL programmers for years, starts with what you already know about programming and, using lots of examples and comparisons (ANSI C 1988 and ANSI COBOL 1985), gives you what you need to know to become a C master.
