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.
