My Summer To-Do List: Practice wakeboard front flip Host late-night island party Build a bonfire Seduce Todd!!! Chelsea's more comfortable strapped onto her wakeboard on Lake Tahoe than laced into platform espadrilles—or flirting with Todd, the adorable watersports instructor she's been crushing on for years. So instead she concentrates on winning this summer's Northwest Extreme Watersports Competition. That is, until Sebastian, a hot Brazilian tennis prodigy, wakes her up to the fact that she can get a boy. But can she get the one she really wants, even if she's competing against him for the gold?

To make a computer do a calculation, however simple, you must describe every step of that calculation in a language the computer can understand: this description is called a program. This book presents a popular and widely available language called BASIC and explains how to write simple programs in it.

Fortran is a computer language that has been around for a quarter of a century, and is still much used despite predictions throughout its life that it would be replaced by more elegant languages. But Fortran is still the only language in which it is possible to write truly portable programs. Using his own special formula, Donald Alcock now does for Fortran what he did for BASIC in his earlier book, Illustrating BASIC. The Fortran described and illustrated is that defined by the American National Standards Institute in 1966 but with allusions to the same Institute's standard published in 1978. For both the person who is new to computers and programming, and the person who has met only BASIC before, this book will give an excellent introduction to standard Fortran; it also provides a reference manual for the language.

This book may be used as a self-contained manual for BBC-BASIC, the main language of the BBC Microcomputer and Master Series Computers. Information is presented in a form handy for reference. Page 163, for example, tabulates all characters in the ASCII range; pages 124-5 summarize all information needed when composing screens of MODE 7 graphics. A quick reference to all functions and operators is given on page 179; the syntax of every statement and command of BBC-Basic is summarized on pages 180-1. But there is more to this book. How do you make a computer sort names into alphabetical order? Not as obvious as it might seem. Three different sorting techniques are explained by example in this book: bubble sort, monkey puzzle (more formally the 'binary tree') and Quicksort relies on 'recursion' - an important programming concept which is explained and demonstrated. Making coloured objects rebound around the walls of a squash court is another technique demonstrated; so is making voices sing in harmony; so is computerizing a humble address book.

This book provides an introduction to programming in Pascal for the complete beginner. It starts with the fundamental concept of a stored program and works through to the manipulation of records in dynamic storage. The style of presentation is pictorial, with well-chosen illustrations replacing lengthy descriptions. Besides defining the statements and structures of Pascal, this book illustrates the use of such features in small, but complete, programs. The programs themselves introduce fundamental techniques of programming and tools of the programmer's trade. This book may be used as a self-contained reference manual for ISO 7185 Pascal.

Using his unique formula--original and readable prose combined with graphics and calligraphy--Donald Alcock revolutionizes the teaching of the C programming language. A special feature of the layout of the book is the double-page spread: each one covers a particular topic making the book useful as a reference manual. This revised edition has benefited from many corrections and updates, and has now been printed in a wide-page format for ease of use. This book is an excellent introduction to standard (ANSI) C, and will provide a reference manual for beginning programmers, computer enthusiasts, and students.
