Talk:Introduction to Programming

Syntax Revision
I added a few sentences to the Syntax section and left the existing text. I don't think the other text is really necessary but I didn't want to eliminate all of it outright. The syntax section should be short and sweet. Define/describe syntax, note its importance, and maybe give different examples (from different languages). I almost started explaining the finer points of parsing such as tokenizing and tree building but it's not necessary to know those things in order to write a program. --TastyWheat (talk) 19:08, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Forked document?
I came across this wikibook after searching for a programming tutorial I had found earlier. It looks like this document has been forked at some point, as it has more chapters (and *is* divided) there, yet there are also edits here. I believe Lawrence is the original author, considering the backstory. Perhaps a consolidation is in order? On second thought, Lkesteloot who posted it here almost certainly is Lawrence Kesteloot. -- 213.185.226.15 (talk)
