Written in simple and practical style, Beginner's Guides provide the first stage in learning to use the BBC Micro, the ZX Spectrum, or the Acorn Electron computers. Step-by-step, you are shown how to write simple programs, use number and string variables, and produce sound, colour and simple graphics.

Richard Graves, a qualified teacher, and David Graves, his eleven-year-old son, found that many of the standard books on introducing programming were far too complicated. Together, they have produced a guide to simple programming which can be used by anyone - of any age.
