2001-11-08 Excellent Introduction to JSP techniques of program design

JSP is a usefull aid to Program design and this book provides a readable and text. The theory is clearly developed using examples and at the end of each chapter are exercises with answers at the end of the book. This is probably the most readable book on this subject and would be suitable for a student or trainee programmer for someone learning this design method. Other books on the JSP theory tend to go into too much technical detail treating the subject as an academic discipline - JSP is a design aid and as such should be simple. JSP starts with an analysis of your input and output data to produce a program structure using diagramatic reasoning. Later in the text this program structure is translated into 'pseudo-code' - an english version of a computer program and then some examples are given of how this could be converted into programming languages such as Cobol. Later chapters examine more complex scenarios. In conclusion I can recommend if you want to learn JSP get this book.
