"This text is designed to teach BASIC programming in educational settings that have any combination of the IBM, TRS, and/or Apple II microcomputer systems, and can guide the individual who wants a self-paced approach to programming in BASIC. BASIC, Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, was created for teaching those with little or no knowledge of programming. This text details common vocabulary and BASIC's use in creating structured, well-written programs. The material is presented in a direct style clearly identifying the language differences specific to each microcomputer. The methods and techniques presented have been tested in the classroom and reflect almost 30 years of combined teaching experience."
