Publisher's Synopsis
An understanding of what happens within computer systems is necessary to exploit fully the potential of the computer. This book explains what the standard commercial computer systems can do, to a lesser extent how they do it and addresses some of the important and more complex features of how they can be used effectively. Many of the programming features are also described although no technical knowledge of any specific computer language is required.;The book covers the basic data processing concepts and introduces commercial systems and the principles they involve. It includes appendices on general programming styles and techniques, and the program prototypes, with which almost all commercial programs can be matched.
