This introduction to Basic language programming using QBasic and Visual Basic has—through three previous editions—successfully taught readers the fundamentals of programming from the ground up, using the simplicity and clarity of QBasic to illustrate problem-solving techniques and structured programming.

Designed for use with the IBM-PC and its compatibles, the book presents the fundamentals of computer programming, such as input, decision structures, and loop structures.



Introduces the Basic language using both QBasic and Visual Basic.

• Features the Control Creation Edition of Visual Basic 5.0.

• Integrates a wealth of examples and exercises that reflect actual data.

• Emphasizes solid programming practices that are in step with modern programming methodology.
