Quickbasic: An Introduction to Computer Programming on the IBM PC

From the same authors who have taught nearly half a million readers BASIC programming...
Robert J. Bent and George C. Sethares' new book, Microsoft QuickBASIC: An Introduction to Computer Programming on the IBM PC, is an easy-to-read text that teaches sound programming and problem-solving methods, taking full advantage of the power and flexibility of QuickBASIC.
No prior experience with computers or computer programming languages is assumed. A working knowledge of elementary algebra is the only mathematical skill needed to understand most of the material and to complete the assignments successfully.
You'll find: Step-by-step instruction on how to solve problems by breaking them into discrete, manageable, and logical steps; Problem Statements, Problem Analysis, Remarks, Comments, and Solutions in examples throughout the text; expanded coverage of algorithms (Chapter 2); numerous long-term programming projects in exercise sets throughout the text; complete coverage of the use of Procedures (Chapter 12); and much, much more!
