C How To Program, 6th edition, Paul Deitel and Harvey Deitel

C How To Program, 6th edition, Paul Deitel and Harvey Deitel (2010), good book, lots and lots of examples, and tables of the most common programming errors.

Here, want to look again at what it says about the older languages.

FORTRAN, still widely used in engineering applications.

Much business software still in COBOL.

Pascal lacked many things needed in commercial, industrial, and government applications. Not widely accepted outside of academia.

Ada developed under Dept. Defense sponsorship. Has multi-tasking capability. Not built into C, but available via add on libraries.

Doesn't say more.
