Books: BBC BASIC & Introducing BBC BASIC

[dv8]

Attached are two programming books: BBC BASIC and Introducing BBC BASIC, both by R.B. Coats.

'Introducing' is pretty much a cut-down version of the larger book. It does, however, have some extra content in the chapters on graphics, sound and procedures. It also includes an additional set of questions and answers.

An SSD containing the listings is also provided for each book.

Yes, I scanned them in. Then they were put through OCR and re-created in a DTP package.

You must have an abundance of patience

It's not as bad as I probably made it sound! Usually I just work on them a bit at a time while watching TV or listening to podcasts. That way it doesn't feel like too much of a slog.
