Book Description

This introduction to computer programming was created for the BASIC-256 open source dialect of BASIC. With this book, anybody (from the young to old) can learn to create useful programs and have a lot if fun.

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...), using BASIC-256. You will learn to program as you make animations, games, and fun applications. Full source code to example programs are given to start experimentation and self exploration.
