Into the Realm of Oberon

This is a beginner's introduction to programming which uses Oberon as the programming language. The author begins with introducing procedures - the basic building blocks of Oberon programs - before introducing types and then type-bound procedures. Along the way, students will build increasingly complex modules of Oberon code and develop a basic understanding of the adavntages of object-oriented programming. As a result students coming to programming for the first time will appreciate this hands-on textbook.
