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.

Learning Level II
Learning TRS-80 Level II BASIC
Review from Practical Computing, September 1980: "Learning Level II is a teaching manual for Tandy TRS-80 Level II Basic. If you have just upgraded a Level I TRS-80 to Level II and you learned about Level I from the Level I users' manual and thought it excellent, this book is for you. David Lien is the author of the Level I manual, which Tandy supply with the TRS-80 model I systems, and Learning Level II continues in the same style. ...The main part of the text is a well-thought-out introduction to the new features of Level II Basic, with plenty of description and examples. In addition to the description of Basic commands and statements, there is plenty of practical detail, covering the expansion interface, dual cassette systems, conversion of programs and data tapes from Level I to Level II, and various dire warnings about system design faults."

TRS-80 Graphics (Robertson and Grillo)
From the preface:
'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.'
