Description

MORE BASIC THAN ABC KIDS! Write your own computer games! PARENTS! Your kids can show you how! TEACHERS! Use this book as a text for programming classes! There’s so much you can do on a computer—once you know how. This easy-to-follow guide can serve as an introduction to any computer which uses the BASIC programming language. BASIC FUN begins with the most simple programs for beginners and progresses to more difficult programs for expert programmers. There's everything from drawing a rocket ship that blasts off your video terminal to figuring out time differences around the world, and calculating your favorite ballplayer’s batting average to teaching your computer a magic trick. These programs are for anytime, anywhere—home and school—and anybody who's ever been interested, curious, or fascinated by computers. Introduction 1. PRINT: How the Computer Speaks 1. Poem 2. Flag 3.

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003.
