This Second Edition brings an entirely new dimension to the basic programming course--by introducing students to the use of objects and to event-driven programming in Visual Basic. Designed for use with the IBM-PC and its compatibles, the text presents the fundamentals of computer programming, such as input, decision structures, and loop structures--with a numeric orientation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great all around guide for QBASIC!, July 8, 2001

Teaches you the basics and on up. Has good text and examples. Excellent reference stuff (ASCII values; color values; summary of every statement) Teaches the basics of a computer, using a mouse, using windows, and an intro to VisualBasic. The only problem: Some of the statements it lists in the summary section aren't mentioned anywhere else, hence there aren't many details and no examples. :( Together with the QB help file and a great website where you can ask other programmers questions (like The QBASIC Forum - just ask Alipha, she knows everything!) you can write anything in no time!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal of QBasic, November 8, 1999

This review is from: QBASIC with an Introduction to Visual Basic for Engineering, Mathematics, and the Sciences (Textbook Binding)

QBASIC is a 'rarely used' .It is still on MS Windows CD, however, and is better then VISUAL BASIC for the hobbyist IMHO. This is a great 2nd BASIC book. Chock full of goodies and tidbits; (some of no value.) Some versions of QBASIC don't seem to act 'just' as the book's tells. Nothing fatal or even major. Not a lot of folks are going to use many of the more remote bits in this physically heavy volume but most of the obscure [but fascinating] info I have not seen in print for 20 years. ... [printing the ASCII number when you know the letter, by example.] A disk comes with the book. I have never used it. This book is the real deal. Heavy-Duty bucks but good card binding and low acid paper ... should last a while.
