In a simple, easy-to-understand style the author provides the reader with an understanding of the design philosophy of structured programming as well as the technical aspects of logic development. In addition, Ms. Swann shares her insights tinto the human problems which must be overcome in order to reap the greatest benefit from the structured approach. Techniques discussed include structured programming, the Librarian concept, the Chief Programmer concept, Structured Walk-Throughs, and HIPO (Hierarchical Input Processing and Output). Each technique is illustrated with numerous charts and examples, and the book also contains checklists which can be used for quick reference or as guides to completeness.
