Where to get qbasic text book?

First, the QBASIC language has been around for a very long time...over 15+ years; therefore, there are 'many' books which have been written which are related to covering learning/or else, working with the QBASIC programming language.

-(BASIC, itself which is the 'original' programming language that QBASIC is based on has been around since the early 1960's...so, over 50+ years! QBASIC is meant to be 'backwards compatible' with running older BASIC code; thus, it is capable of running many of these older BASIC programs, as well.)-

Some books are highly specific in content...such as those covering QBASIC 'graphics', only.

The books listed below are a lot more 'general' in content. One is a short teaching book/and, the other is a short quick reference guide. I would very highly recommend both of these as being very useful to people who are 'beginners' new to learning programming.

-(I would further suggest that *before* you buy them; hop along to Amazon online bookstore; and, search to find the titles/authors there...; then, read through the 'reviews' of what other people do have to say after having read each of these books.)-
