I first bought this book when my most powerful computer at the time was a C=128. And such fun I had. I still have the book, and I think I still have the Commodore 128. I was still in the U.S. Army at the time, and grappling with the challenges of Non Com Army life, PT, Satellite Communications, and Pretty Girls, when I happened upon this book in a Monterey California bookstore.
Several of my most pressing life challenges took a back seat to my day to day life, (not pretty girls, of course), as I learned to code clusters of stars whipping, and whirling about imaginary space in complicated dances that left satisfying glowing curved traces that arched across my monitor. I upgraded my computer hardware over time...faster, more powerful, but the one constant was this book, and it's still with me.
If you are interested in learning to code, this book is an amazing road map, starting with simple ideas and building on them. If you can get your hand on a copy, do so.
