QBasic By Example- a book for all people

I'm a fairly experienced programmer, having programmed since 1992 lightly in QBasic. I was pretty sure that I knew most of what there was to know about QBasic. So, you can understand that I was hesitent to actually read this book. When I did, however, I learned an enormous amount of commands that I didn't have a clue about earlier. As well, it taught me how to structure my code. I recommend this book strongly to anyone who wants to learn to program. Even if you're experienced and want a review, this is the one for you. I give it five stars.

An Must Have Book For Beginning QBASIC

This is Greg Perry at his best. The book is well written, well structured and will have the novice writing good programs in no time. Having never programmed before I was able to write a few involved programs after reading only 2/3 of the book. Perry peppers the lessons with meaningful examples and writes in a clear, easy to understand style. I recommend this book to anyone trying to learn QBasic. This should stand as an example to all programming books.

Great book for beginners

This book is a must if you are a beginner wanting to leanr programming. It is the easiest language, and the one that everyone should start with. This book explains everything you need to know very well and easy to understand. A great buy.

This book explains the code

A lot of Qbasic books cover a lot of program structure and demonstrate that structure without first explaining the code thats in them. Qbasic by Example focuses on teaching you the code. All exhamples are simple and easy to follow. You can jump to any chapter and learn a command or keyword that you need without being lost. This is an excellent book. I use it as a reference manual.

QBasic By Example is the easiest way to teach yourself!

For the beginning programmer, there is no better book on QBasic available. This book presents the basics of QBasic in an easy to follow, step by step format. Filled with examples, each new element of program design builds on what the author has already taught you. I highly recommend this book!
