- binary132 2y agoI learned BASIC from those Usborne books on it, muddling my way through with qbasic. The PDFs of them are actually available on their site now!
- vrighter 2y agoholy shit, thanks for the tip! I also learned programming from those usborne books, using qbasic (The dragon32 ran a version of microsoft basic, so the code for it was generally quite compatible with qbasic). I'll go download them all for archiving.
