When Windows 9 was released I realised for the first time that Microsoft wouldn’t always be there for us, and when they failed I would be at a complete loss as to how to use a PC. You probably think it’s a bit late in the day to be coming to that realisation, but I’m not a computery person. When I got my new machine my plan was to do a dual boot with Ubuntu, but quickly realised I couldn’t do it and be confident that I wouldn’t break the computer. Since then I have been periodically retrenching with progressively simpler plans, all of which have turned out to be beyond my ability. With this children’s book I have finally found something that is about my level. If you want to learn BASIC, this is the book for you.

It follows the same format as those ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ jobbies, except that rather than choices you need to write out and run seven programs in BASIC in order to proceed. The programs are compatible with:

ZX Spectrum
QL
BBC Micro
Acorn Electric
IBM PC
Pcjr
Apple II+, Iic, Iie (with Applesoft BASIC)
Commodore 64
VIC 20
TI 99/4A
Atari 400/800
Tandy TRS-80 models 1, 3 and 4
Tandy Colour Computer
Dragon 32/64

So if you have one of these machines you’re good to go. I do not so I had to find a way to emulate one on my PC. I went for the BBC Micro’s dialect because their English is so good and downloaded a piece of software called BBC Basic for Windows from here:

http://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/download.html

You only need the free version for the purposes of this book. There are also version for Linux etc if you’re a cleverclogs.

The programs are fun, but the intention is obviously to teach you BASIC. Looking at the first three, for the first you need simply to type it correctly. For the second you need to read the English embedded in the program. For the third you need to read the code itself. Thereafter they teach you transferable skills like reading ASCII or analysing a dataset. The seventh program (which gives you an arcade game with fucking amazing graphics) contains an (unintentional?) error. I was able to fix it, but only by understanding and amending multiple lines of code. That said, there are still many things about the language I don’t understand and I might try some of the other books in the series before graduating to the Linux command line.

The Charisma books were a lot of fun to read when I was a teenager. They stayed within the age range but still felt like I was reading a true young adult of the time.

Just reread this and it was MUCH better than I remember (maybe my expectations were lower?). Lots of spy action and romance in a very teeny-boppy way (that IS the audience). Amber and Samantha are sent to Washington DC to investigate the harassment of a senator. Amber falls in love with one of the suspects (of course).
