Reviews

Qbasic is still the perfect language for beginning programmers because it is "English-like," which means it makes more sense than pt->(int)foo. As part of the ever-excellent "Dummies" series, this guide discusses general programming, programming with Qbasic, data structures, algorithms, and Internet programming. Recommended for all public libraries.
