Learning QBasic with Books vs. QB64 (Online Documentation)

One of the important benefits in utilsing QBasic (or QuickBasic) over QB64, initially, or as long as you would like through the developmental and or learning process: is the vast array of excellent textbooks and guides on QBasic , one can pick up these days - very inexpensively. In a world of “On-Li...

Google Bot - Registered User?
