Computer programming for the Complete Idiot
YEAR: 1979
ITEM: Book
COMPANY: Design Enterprises of San Francisco
COUNTRY: USA
IN OUR COLLECTION: Yes
Pre-dating the popular "Idiot's Guide to.." series, this 126 page, oversize, softcover book presented a very simple step-by-step guide to programming in basic. I've not seen a clearer and more comprehensive beginner's guide to programming.
The cover shows a genie looking over a TRS-80 computer with a keyboard and a cassette recorder for data storage.
Sorry, no images have yet been entered. As we get more volunteers/interns we will be adding these images.
Documents
Documents for this item have not yet been scanned or not yet posted. There are a lot of pages...contact us if you have an immediate need. (Although there are not a lot of "immediate needs" for a 70+ year old computer!)
