Packaged with MS-DOS, Microsoft's GW-BASIC is the most popular and widely accessible language available. The Waite Group's GW-BASIC Primer Plus will help you write your own dynamic programs with this universal programming language.

A straightforward, hands-on text leads you through all aspects of BASIC. You start by creating interesting, practical programs right away. Step-by-step instructions teach you how to control a program's flow, how to use arrays, and how to arrange data, numeric, and string functions.
