THEORY, PRACTICE, AND TREND IN BUSINESS PROGRAMMING.

Abstract

Surveys some work done in the last few years in the United States, both practical and theoretical in nature, likely to have an impact on programming practices for commercial and administrative problems. Topics include: nonprocedural languages, which emphasize problem statement rather than problem-solving procedures: generalized file processing systems, which enable program to be described in terms of files and reports and small sets of relatively powerful filekeeping operations; useroriented, on-line systems that allow the nonprogrammer, sitting at a local or remote terminal, to retrieve and process data.
