Literature about QuickBasic
#11
there are two other very interesting books in which one of this was always created by The Waite  Group's
and was born a few years after the book Microsoft Quickbasic Bible 
maybe it's better because it will have been corrected since it came out later
Let me know what you think after reading them

1) book  https://www.mediafire.com/file/cctqt01n7...e.pdf/file

2) book. https://www.mediafire.com/file/11rw6dtwa...e.pdf/file

I have the book by The Wait Group in German - one should have it.


The other book is interesting; you can never have enough literature.
The only thing that bothers me is that both books are a bit dark - black writing on a slightly dark background. Strange! Because the pages themselves are of course white.

to lighten the pages there are different ways either change the pdf to word and then lighten the pages or look for other methods I know that you can lighten the pages they are slightly dark because they were scanned with dark anti-reflection glass

you said you can't have enough reading but to program as a reference I think only one book would be enough and use it as a reference to the instructions some users say that they used the Qbasic online guide to program and created many programs in the past years

Thanks for sharing. I downloaded the first one: the Microsoft Quickbasic Programmer's Reference by Douglas Hergert. Looks like being a very good book, with lots of useful information and very well structured

Ethan Winer's book  BASIC Techniques and Utilities, is freely available as a PDF file.

I used _ (underscore) for continuing the line of code only one time, when I used too many long name of variables.
So time ago when I was writing in Qbasic.
