Opis

Learn to program a computer without the jargon and complexity of many programming books. Suitable for anybody age 10 to 100+ who wants to learn and is ready to experiment. This book engages through media (sound, color, shapes, and text to speech) and then introduces the concepts of structured programming (loops, conditions, variables, functions, ...). You will learn to program as you make animations, games, and fun applications. The Second Edition of this book has been fully updated to include most of the features that have been added to BASIC-256 Version 1.0 (Functions, Subroutines, and error trapping). Also, exercises have been added to the end of every chapter to reinforce vocabulary and to provide additional challenges. Full source code to example programs are given to start experimentation and self exploration.
