Ebook: The Waite Group's Microsoft QuickBASIC Bible

Covers: QuickBASIC up to vers. 4.5, GW-BASIC, BASICA, PowerBASIC

We wrote this book with a special approach in mind. The idea is to allow you to access the most general information first, followed by more specific information. For example,if you are just getting started with QuickBASIC, you might want a general overview of the entire language-its advantages over other languages and its limitations, its power and its potential. The Introduction, "A Task-Oriented Overview of QuickBASIC," gives you this information in a style that is both comprehensive and readable.

If you already know a version of BASIC, you probably want to identify those areas of QuickBASIC that are new and different. To this end, you can read the tutorials that introduce each chapter of the book; these sections summarize and discuss the usage of
any commands and keywords that might be new to you.
