THE BOOK THAT TAKES THE MYSTERY
OUT OF COMPUTER PROGRAMMING—
AND PUTS THE MASTERY IN
You don’t have to be a magician to be master of your personal
computer. You simply have to understand the problem or task
that you want your computer to handle, and be able to translate
your understanding into a series of instructions in a language
your computer can follow.
That language is BASIC— and BEGINNING WITH BASIC
is the one book that talks to you about BASIC in a language
you
can follow.
Complete with a section on how to easily convert the form of BASIC
featured in this book—the Microsoft version, which ranks first in
popularity around the world—to other BASICs you may encounter,
BEGINNING WITH BASIC is the best beginning a new computer
owner can make today.
BEGINNING
WITH BABIC
background includes work for U.S. Army Intelligence,
the Bell System, and the data processing section of a large bank, before
he became a full-time writer and lecturer on computer-related topics.
His widely acclaimed books include
Computers Made Really Simple
and
The New American Computer Dictionary
(available in a Signet
edition).
