If you own an Electron computer and are looking to put it to more serious use, then this is the book for you.

The Working Electron is based on a collection of solid, sophisticated programs in areas such as data storage, finance, graphics, household management and education. The programs have been designed to make the most of the Electron's special features.

Using a structured approach, the programs are explained line by line. Each program is built up out of general purpose modules and these can be freely adapted for use in your own programs.

Advanced programming skills spring out of the discussion explaining each procedure. The collection also leaves you with a wide range of practical applications programs which might otherwise only be available on cassette.

John Scriven has written several books on home computing including the highly successful Programing For Education on the Electron computer. He is a regular contributor to Popular Computing Weekly.
