Aimed at those who have written several small-to-medium-sized programs, The Essence of Program Design provides a complete introduction to the varied range of design methods that are available. Each method is analysed and assessed, and comparisons are drawn to allow the programmer to ascertain which method is most suitable for the task in hand. Program design is crucial to all successful programming: if the design of a program is incorrect, then all subsequent stages of program development will be flawed. This is why The Essence of Program Design is essential reading for all undergraduate and novice programmers.
