Description

This introductory book on BASIC applications programming assumes the reader has no previous knowledge of computing and presents the subject using structured programming techniques. The student is led from simple BASIC routines through to the edge of advanced file handling. Each chapter concludes with summary points and self-test questions and the reader's knowledge is tested by means of worksheets and test programs. The final chapter introduces the concept of a program specification and presents the reader with a project scenario related to a commercial situation. In the course of working through modules from the specification, points on structure presented throughout the book are consolidated and, on completion, the student should be able to write commercial software using indexed sequential random file access techniques.
