About the Author
Dr. Jack Purdum started his programming career on
an IBM 360 mainframe as a graduate student in the 1960s. In the mid
- 1970s, he became interested in software development for
microcomputers, and he founded his own software development company
(Ecosoft, Inc.) in 1977. The company ' s main product was a
statistics package (Microstat) that he wanted to rewrite in a new
language called C. Lacking a suitable C compiler, Dr. Purdum ' s
company developed its own MS - DOS - based C compiler and other
programming tools. He has been involved with language instruction
ever since. Dr. Purdum has authored 15 texts and numerous
programming articles and has received several teaching awards. He
is currently on the cusp of retirement from Purdue University ' s
College of Technology.
