So over to you. What was your first computer programming (there are other types of programming) book that you actually bought?

TR

If it counts: Personal Computing On The VIC-20 (1982)(Commodore) that came with the VIC-20 when I got it as a gift in the spring of '84.

My first real programming book when I got to college in 1988: Basic Fundamentals And Style By Quasney, James S (1984)
