First Computer Programming Book You Bought

[OldMoses]

I got an Apple ][+ for my first computer. It came with several manuals, remember those days? Spiral bound paper manuals. I guess "The Applesoft Tutorial" qualifies as my first programming book. There was also "Applesoft ][ Basic Programmer's Reference Manual" and a book on DOS 3.3. I spent many blissfully ignorant years writing hopeless spaghetti code.

After I got into QBasic, I grabbed a copy of "QBasic for Dummies"
