Customer Reviews

As good as Starting Forth

This book draws you in slowly but surely. It's thorough - and at the half way mark I'm really hooked ! There aren't as many differences between the current ANS Forths and the Standard-79 covered in this book - and even then they are easily resolved.The style is perhaps not as entertaining as "Starting Forth" by Brodie, but very pleasant reading all the same. If you can find it, get it ! ( Beginner's / Intermediates )
