Computing for all the Family with a BBC Computer
"Tony Noble (a Headmaster in Northamptonshire), has taught computing to himself, his family, and the children at his school; so there is no one better placed to write this, THE definitive computer book for either school or home use. The book begins with an introduction to the uses of microcomputers then takes you through about 50 short, simple, easy-to-follow steps that take you from turning on the computer to advanced BASIC programming. These have been thoroughly tested in schools with outstanding success - even with adults they have proved more effective, simpler, and more interesting than reading the manuals.
After this, there is a section of hints and tips for better programming and then listings and detailed explanations of highly motivating ADVENTURE- style educational programs specially designed for younger people.
These include SMUGGLERS, SAURUS ISLAND, ZOO HUNT and GALACTIC INVASION.
Other programs concerned with data collection and graphics are also presented, to link in with the programming steps.
Finally, there is a large collection of 25 instructional programs, with many variations, designed to teach such skills as vowel usage, spelling, arithmetic, multiplication tables, area concepts, and geography. All these programs have been tried and tested in both school and home environments.
Strongly recommended for parents wishing to reinforce the school computer experience in the more relaxed home environment."
