Lots Of Good BASIC Programming Programs To Enter.

All the programs in the book are a really good help in learning BASIC programming for the first time and entering code.

Great all around guide for QBASIC!

Teaches you the basics and on up. Has good text and examples. Excellent reference stuff (ASCII values; color values; summary of every statement) Teaches the basics of a computer, using a mouse, using windows, and an intro to VisualBasic. The only problem: Some of the statements it lists in the summary section aren't mentioned anywhere else, hence there aren't many details and no examples. :( Together with the QB help file and a great website where you can ask other programmers questions (like The QBASIC Forum - just ask Alipha, she knows everything!) you can write anything in no time!

The Real Deal of QBasic

QBASIC is a 'rarely used' .It is still on MS Windows CD, however, and is better then VISUAL BASIC for the hobbyist IMHO. This is a great 2nd BASIC book. Chock full of goodies and tidbits; (some of no value.) Some versions of QBASIC don't seem to act 'just' as the book's tells. Nothing fatal or even major. Not a lot of folks are going to use many of the more remote bits in this physically heavy volume but most of the obscure [but fascinating] info I have not seen in print for 20 years. ... [printing the ASCII number when you know the letter, by example.] A disk comes with the book. I have never used it. This book is the real deal. Heavy-Duty bucks but good card binding and low acid paper ... should last a while.
