Getting Started with Color BASIC Date: 1981 Getting Started with Color BASIC

In this book, you'll learn how to talk to your Computer. That's all programming is, by the way. Once you learn how to communicate, you'll be able to get your Computer to do whatever you tell it. (well almost).

The Computer understands a language called COLOR BASIC. COLOR BASIC is form of BASIC - Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. There are lots of computer languages. COLOR BASIC just happens to be the language your Computer understands.

We'll introduce BASIC words in the order that it's easiest to learn them. When you get mid-way in the book, you might forget what one of the words means. If this happens, simply look up the word in the back of the book or use your "Quick Reference Card" to find its meaning.

'The purpose of this book is to explore the computer's special abilities to produce graphic displays.  The book is geared toward one microcomputer, the Radio Shack TRS-80, and one computer language, BASIC.  However, due to the generalized nature of the discussion, we feel that the techniques employed in the many sample programs can be adapted to other hardware and other languages.'
