You have to "borrow" the book to read it in full (see the "Borrow" button above it).

This book, by Donald Alcock, was a marvellously illustrated BASIC manual that explained the many concepts of computer programming in a fun way. It removed all the technical daunt from the subject by using doodles to simplify the topics.
Great book, theres also illustrating C from the same author - equally brilliant.

Only AppleScript deserves to be called "brilliant" :evil:
(at least because of how it was conceived from the beginning) :P
