Norton QBASIC book
Norton QBASIC book
I saw on Amazon that there is a Norton book about QBASIC. Does anyone know if this is a good book? How thorough is it, and what topics does it cover?
I cannot say too much about the book as I haven't read it. What I can say is that it is always a good idea to have books for the languages that you use and study as a reference. On the other hand, sites like this, mine, and many others have enough information and links for you to learn more than you ever could with any book on the market.

I have a almost mint but read (no lost pages) copy of "BASICs for Dos" Garry Cornel 3769 circa 1992
which covers both beginner and intermediate for all IBM/MS basics up to 4.5 it brings you upto introduction of ASM and interrupts in QB which is where it ends.
I would be willing to separate with it for IDK $10.. if anyone needs. now I am using qb64 and have reached an advanced level so I don't really need it but for nostalgia purposes..
good basic manuals in descent shape are hard to find any more. I have a full range of them from commie 16 apple IIc cobol pascal..etc to if anyone is into retro collecting. I just realize I don't need them any more..
will trade for ti86 calculators also!
