Getting more - MUCH MORE - from your Electron or BBC computer!

Bemused by the manuals? Wondering just how many books you'll need to read before you can get the most out of your powerful Acorn computer? Look no more - it's all in this easy-to-read but comprehensive book.

You'll progress from the first exploratory touches of your Electron or BBC right into the heart of these versatile machines. With this new book from Noel Kantaris and Keith Thompson beside you, you'll build up your own unique library of programs and subroutines as you explore BBC BASIC and progress towards the core of the book.

The expertise you'll develop here forms the building blocks for the latter half of the book. You'll enjoy working on more advanced techniques:- error handling routines, multiscreen graphics, database filing systems - all illustrated and incorporated into working programs. Through two whole chapters you'll explore disk file applications with particular emphasis on database techniques. You'll progress to:-

  • disk filing system commands
  • sequential and random access files
  • utility programs and procedures
  • a unique double-pointer record-linking database technique

So that you can measure your progress through the book, graded problems are set in each section - check your solutions against the working solutions.

Whether your computer has a cassette filing system or a disk drive, you'll find GETTING MORE FROM YOUR BBC AND ELECTRON COMPUTERS is a worthy addition to your bookshelf.
