Ramblings Book Review: Basic Programming for the Timex/ Sinclair Computers

Combining a building block approach which proceeds from the rather simple to the rather complex with practical tools such as programming instructions, “hands-on” practice, and self-teaching exercises, the book “Basic Programming for the Timex/Sinclair Computers” provides a broad introduction to the Timex/Sinclair BASIC programming language.

Using the book as a guide and the computer as a “teaching machine,” the reader learns how to program by actually proceeding to write programs.

Sixty-four chapters cover the scope of programming convections elucidating diverse subject matter such as keyboard familiarization, moving computer graphics, various math concepts, loops, branches, and string-slicing techniques.

Written by Joseph J. Charles and published by Hayden Books, “Basic Programming for the Timex/Sinclair Computer” will soon be available at your local book or computer store.
