Computer Programming for the Humanities in SNOBOL4

A New Book by Eric Johnson

For ten years on the Dakota State University campus and three times via Internet, Eric Johnson has taught a course in which students learn to program in SNOBOL4. There have been requests for the materials of that course. The eight major lectures with exercises have been collected in a book: Computer Programming for the Humanities in SNOBOL4. It is intended to be sufficient to learn how to use the SNOBOL4 programming language to write programs of practical value for applications in the humanities, especially those related to texts. The public-domain Vanilla SNOBOL4 compiler (for DOS and DOS under Windows) is used as the basis of the book's discussions and can be used for all exercises. Sample solutions to the exercises with discussions of the problems are available free of cost via email for those who own the book.

The 7-by-9-inch perfect bound paperback book contains 121 pages of description and examples of SNOBOL4 programming. It is published by Dakota State University Press.
