Review

"Philip Conrod has done a great job porting my original BASIC COMPUTER ADVENTURES book to the latest version of Microsoft Small Basic. The Small Basic Computer Adventures play just like my original adventures.  I highly recommend Philip Conrod's new "Small Basic Computer Adventures" book to both kids and adults!" - David H. Ahl, Founder of Creative Computing

"Philip Conrod has a passion for writing tutorials and books aimed at beginner programmers and he's done an excellent job of covering all the fundamentals of Small Basic programming.   He has also published a faithful port of David Ahl's Computer Adventures for Small Basic. Check it out for some cool game ideas!"   - Vijaye Raji, Creator of Microsoft Small Basic
