I learnt to program using those books. Although I swear there's a few titles missing. I remember one of them being more about computers in general rather than programming and having this two page illustrated branching "flow chart" of a humourous choose your own adventure game. My first go at programming something from scratch was implementing that on a borrowed TRS-80 Model III before I finished saving up for my own computer (a ZX Spectrum later on). The code was just one long linear list of conditionals - Just PRINT, INPUT, IF/THEN, and GOTO. I'm not sure it even really used variables hehe. There was another one on Computer Graphics too.
