UABOUT THE BOOKThe book is arranged into 33 lessons, each with notes to the instructor and eachcontaining assignments and review questions.For instructors who feel themselves weak in BASIC or are beginners, the student'slessons form a good introduction to BASIC. The lessons and notes differ in style. Thelessons are pragmatic and holistic, the notes and GLOSSARY are detailed andexplanatory.The book starts with a bare bones introduction to programming, leading quickly to thepoint where interesting programs can be written. See the notes for Lesson 6, THEINPUT COMMAND, for an explanation. The central part of the book emphasizes moreadvanced and powerful commands. The final part of the book continues this, but alsodeals with broader aspects of the art of programming such as editing, debugging, anduser friendly programming.The assignments involve writing programs, usually short ones. Of course, many differentprograms are satisfactory "solutions" to these assignments. In the back of the book Ihave included solutions for assigned programs, some of them written by children whohave used the book.Lesson 14 SAVING TO TAPE, can be studied anytime after Lesson 3.uu12
