This book helped me learn everything I needed to know about Qbasic. The examples were very helpful. I recommend this book to anyone interested in Qbasic.

Its a great book. It allowed me to learn everything I needed to know in a way that was easy to understand. I definatelly recommend this book.

This book goes through QBasic very thoroughly but does not go very far into the language. If you have no knowledge of QBasic what-so-ever, then this book probably isn't for you. I learned quite a bit from this book myself, but I only read it once since the concepts are so simple. There are probably better beginner books which go into more detail, but I can't name any. I would probably recommend those more than this, however.

This book has MANY examples! It has examples on how to write a line of code and has programs that you type in if you wish, but they have a disk offer on the back. The book is missing a few things like how to make music on a program but it's O.K.. I highly recommend it.

This has been the most help to me to begin programming in qbasic. I learned all the codes and how to put them all together. I give this book an A++

This book was not what I was looking for. I am a beginner with no background in computer programming. I did the exercises and read and reread everything in the first 5 chapters of this book and I just wasn't able to grasp the concept of what I was trying to do. I was doing all the programs, but I didn't quite understand the basic elements of QBASIC. For me the book need to start on a more fundmental level. Once I get the fundmentals I plan on going back to "QBASIC for Dummies" and finish the book.

I've owned this book for awhile, and don't find it any helpful. First, the author starts with advanced topics, then uses examples that take much longer than they need to be just to illustrate a point. I think it takes about 5 chapters before the PRINT function, one of the simplest and best to experiment with, is learned. This book is not for beginners,.... Otherwise... I can see why one of the other reviewers could not grasp it. I couldn't, even with some experience. But now I program in C++, and QBASIC is MUCH weaker.

This book is a good book for the beginners, but the advanced can find something new, as well.
