From the day they first appeared in the pages of The Micro User, Mike Bibby's beginners articles have been acclaimed as setting new standards of lucidity in the teaching of BASIC programming. Now, for the benefit of the many thousands of new Electron and BBC Micro users, they have been collected and revised to form the basis of **GETTING STARTED IN BBC BASIC**. Beginning from the position of someone who has never even switched on a micro before, the author carefully establishes a sound grounding in all the fundamental programming techniques. The easy to follow text is liberally sprinkled with valuable and often amusing examples. Step by step the reader is led into devising his own programs, almost without noticing it. With its common sense, hands-on approach and its emphasis on structured programming techniques, **GETTING STARTED IN BBC BASIC** has already won wide acceptance in homes and classrooms throughout Britain. **GETTING STARTED IN BBC BASIC** is a rarity - a beginners book that even beginners will understand.
