The comprehensive teach yourself programming series for Vic 20
The familiar teach yourself basic for the Commodore Vic 20 that was included with the friendly computer. I have two of these, the second version is incomplete and in a poor condition
I may have mentioned once or twice I had this for my Commodore Plus 4 many years ago
The left photo above is from the second copy showing the front of the manual and how incomplete it is
The mysterious plastic thing I discovered was for making flow charts to help with programming, the C16/Plus 4 version never had this
Introduction
This course is Part I of a series designed to help you learn about every aspect of programming the Commodore VIC computer. The present course covers the principles of programming and all the elementary facilities of the BASIC programming language. It has three constituent parts:
1. A self-study text divided into 15 lessons or 'units', each of which deals with an important aspect of programming.
2. 2 cassette tapes with a collection of VIC programs, which help you study the units.
3. A flow-chart stencil like the ones used by professional Computer Scientists. This stencil will help you design programs to be correct, efficient and robust.
Please note that this course teaches you to write useful and entertaining programs for your VIC, but it does not cover the whole of the BASIC language. The more advanced features of BASIC are fully explained and discussed in the second course of the series.
