Publisher's Synopsis
Taking advantage of True BASIC's user-friendly development environment, this book presents structured programming principles - such as problem solving, top-down modular program design, and programming style - in a format that is ideal for readers with no prior programming experience. This book has two goals: to teach programming concepts in general, and to familiarize the reader with the elements of True BASIC in particular. Users will learn to write readable, reliable, and well-documented programs, and be able to move on to more advanced topics and other programming languages without having to unlearn bad habits. This book is ideal for self-paced learning. The new edition is updated to cover the latest version 5.X including the Bronze, Silver and Gold editions of True BASIC.
