The Handbook is more of a reference guide for the language. A complete educational package for both learning and monitoring students. These types of materials are becoming quite scarce and are an important part of our computing heritage often discarded as languages become obsolete and programmers learned the languages. COBOL was and is an important language for programming business applications. An acronym for "COmmon Business Oriented Language" COBOL was developed jointly by various industry competitors in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It has continued to evolve over time. Cobol 74 refers to compatibility with a particular ANSI standard for the language from 1974. See Sammet's "Programming Languages: History and Fundamentals" for a pre-1970's view of the history of computing languages including Cobol. NCR Corporation paperback books

1938674Philadelphia: Macrae-Smith-Company 1938. First Edition. <br /><br />8vo 8 1/4 x 5 3/4 inches; 210 x 145 mm 268 pages in yellow cloth with a pictorial dust jacket. <br /><br />An unusual book aimed at guys who want to go from copy boy to ace reporter. Unusual in the sense that it combines both fiction and nonfiction. We follow Jerry a likable copy boy on a New Jersey daily who puts up with coarse and frankly awful editors and pressmen but then gets his big chance to be a reporter. <br /><br />Journalists will enjoy the depiction of Matt Hale the city editor who communicates primarily through growling screaming and banging his fist on his desk. Very entertaining; most journalists have known editors like Matt Hale. Illustrated with real newsroom and technical photographs of the day. SCARCE especially in dust jacket. <br /><br />CONDITION: Light toning to page edges heavier toning to paste downs but clean and unmarked. The pictorial dust jacket has several shallow chips and tears including a 1 1/2" tear with creasing to top edge of front panel affecting "O" in "COPY." Overall a Very Good copy.
