How to Write Your Own Programs

This book is designed for Electron users who want to begin writing their own programs. It assumes a working knowledge of the keyboard and the machine's basic functions. Ideal for anyone tired of typing in program listings, this gentle introduction to the jargon and complexities of computing will take the reader step by step through program design and structure. Illustrated throughout with clear examples, Discover Your Electron makes full use of the machine's sound and graphic capabilities and prepares the user for advanced programming with a wealth of hints and tips.

Over the Spectrum Date: 1982 Over the Spectrum

Not a teach yourself programming guide, it is a collection of programs: each program has a detailed breakdown of exactly what happens when and how its all achieved.

The listings are not trivial, and the result is well worth the effort. The book is liberally illustrated in colour showing screen displays for almost all the programs so you know what you are trying to achieve at the outset.
