This is a web-update version of Elliot Koffman's Turbo Pascal book. The major change to this edition is that all of the code previously found on an accompanying disk is now located on the book's web site. The author has also included an additional chapter introducing students to the WWW and showing them the benefits of all it has to offer. By having students use the web site throughout the course, this book will make students more comfortable using the WWW for classwork and for their own interests.
