About the time of this book I transitioned from computer engineering and assembler programming into software engineering. I was lucky to stumble upon Thinking Forth. Swallowed it. Gave me invaluable insight.
(Another important transition stepping stone was Programming Languages - Design and Implementation by Terence Pratt.)
- ams6110 8y agoI tried to learn Fourth when I was a kid of about 14. There was an implementation for the TI-99/4A, which I had. But I never grokked it. I am guessing the manuals and other examples assumed knowledge I didn't have. Haven't gone back to it since.
- jonsen 8y agoFortunately I didn’t have access to any Forth implementation when I read Thinking Forth so I could get full credit from the reading undisturbed by any practicing.
- nobleach 8y agoHmmm, the TI-99/4A. Any chance you made Mr. Bojangles dance? (I read that BASIC manual cover to cover)
