A GREAT BOOK TO LEARN QBASIC!!!

I bought a 486 IBM laptop in the mid-early 90s. And, since it came with QBasic installed, I decide I ought to learn how to use QBasic. Because I had good luck with Greg Perry's other books, I purchased this book as well. Greg in a concise and pleasant style went through the basic syntax of the QBasic programming language. Too bad QBasic doesn't compile like C or C++. That probably killed QBasic's popularity. The book marched me right on through and made the topic easy to understand. I feel it will do the same for you, that is if you still have a use for QBasic.

Great for Beginners

Even if you've never programmed before "Crash Course in Q Basic" offers a no-frills quick introduction into this easy programming language. Take it one step at a time and soon you'll be writing simple programs. By the end of the book you'll have a good knowledge of the language and be able to write moderately complex programs. I teach basic programming to beginners and recommend this book as an excellent reference.

A very good book for beginning programmers.

This being my first programming book after learning GWBASIC, I found this book to be very well written considering the size of the book. If you just don't have much time to spend learning QBasic, this book takes you on a Crash Course(surprise) through the fundamentals of the language with plenty of examples demonstrating the topic effectively. I STRONGLY recommend this book if you want to learn QBASIC.
