Summary: Beginners and Experts Need Apply
Review: I was already an accomplished BASIC programmer when I picked up this book. This taught me so much After reading it and learning a ton from it, I gave it to my friend who called DOS the "big black sscreen" and Windows "The start menu." After just rtwo weeks, he had mastered QBasic too.

Summary: Good Book, not quite as complete as I was led to believe.
Review: I was disappointed that the book did not have a definition on every QBASIC command. I needed information about the PEEK and POKE commands.

Summary: QBasic By Example- a book for all people
Review: I'm a fairly experienced programmer, having programmed since 1992 lightly in QBasic. I was pretty sure that I knew most of what there was to know about QBasic. So, you can understand that I was hesitent to actually read this book. When I did, however, I learned an enormous amount of commands that I didn't have a clue about earlier. As well, it taught me how to structure my code. I recommend this book strongly to anyone who wants to learn to program. Even if you're experienced and want a review, this is the one for you. I give it five stars.

Summary: A great easy-to-learn book!
Review: If you're sick of the same old qbasic programming books which don't tell you much, here's your solution. This book is a great book for beginner(mainly) and intermediate. This book not only gave you good source code as examples, it gave you comfort because of the easily explainable attempts it used. It was a magnificantly planned and written book.

Summary: A great book for beginning programmers.
Review: The increasing obsolescence of the QBasic language does not eliminate the need for fundamental programming knowledge for beginners provided by "QBasic by Example." Coding QBasic is an excellent stepping stone for learning how to program. Several fundamental programming concepts are covered in this book such as general program structure, if-then-else statements, and loops. The book also has important information for beginners on understanding how programs and computers work. I was a little disappointed that the book does not cover ALL of the QBasic commands. However, the most frequently used commands are explained very clearly with ample use of easy to read program examples and well organized chapters. The author obviously knows how the human mind learns best and this book images his experience.

Summary: A fine book for programming starters
Review: This book is an excellent starter for those who want to start learning how to program. You don't need to buy the software because more than likely your computer will have QBasic. I had sold the book and regreted doing so, and now I purchased it again because it also makes a great reference.

Summary: Excellent Book for Beginers
Review: This is a great book for someone who does not know anything about programing.

Summary: Excelent book. Essential for begginers.
Review: This is an excelent book, looking over all the major aspects of Qbasic, teaching you step-by-step how to create a sucessful Qbasic program. This book is great for begginers, but not for experienced programers who want to learn more about QBasic. I have been programing in QBasic for nearly 5 years and I only used it for my first year. But without it I could have never been such a good programer. Highly recommended for beginners.

Summary: An Must Have Book For Beginning QBASIC
Review: This is Greg Perry at his best. The book is well written, well structured and will have the novice writing good programs in no time. Having never programmed before I was able to write a few involved programs after reading only 2/3 of the book. Perry peppers the lessons with meaningful examples and writes in a clear, easy to understand style. I recommend this book to anyone trying to learn QBasic. This should stand as an example to all programming books.
