I ALSO HAVE TO USE THIS BOOK FOR MY CLASS AND I'VE HAVENT EVEN GOT PAST CHAPTER 1. I GET LOST IN WHAT EVER POINT THE AUTHOR IS TRYING TO MAKE WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE THINGS SO COMPLICATED.
Rating: - It's not a Book to Learn From
I use this COBOL book for my class that I have at College, and I have worked through it and I know no more than I did when I strated. I feel strongly that this book is not a good source to learn COBOL, and is not user freindly.
Rating: - Mediocre
If you enjoy COBOL enough, maybe you'll really try to sit down with this book. I had to use this book for a COBOL college class and, boy, was it not that great. The book is very verbose, like COBOL itself.
I recommend not purchasing this book and instead getting a different book on COBOL. On the other hand, if you truly love COBOL then maybe this is the book for you. All I know is that I did not learn anything from this book except how to ruin a perfectly good afternoon.
