The first book I began programming with was a BASIC book. It must have been published at least 1991 or prior because thats when I started programming.
I can't remember the name of it or the author so bear with my description that might ring a bell:
It was paperback, coloured green (could have been yellow or red text I forget that part). There were two kids (one girl and one guy) on the front sitting at what could have been a TRS-80 model III looking machine (this is vaguely familiar...could have totally been something else). The screen of the machine was in view, but the kids were both turned around looking towards you, the reader.
I seached google images for long period of time using "BASIC"+"books" and combinations thereof 😛 I'd like to pick up a copy of eBay just for the hell of it as a memory for the first hobby I ever really had.
There was another book that I read shortly after. Larger book (magazine size) and it had star wars C-3P0 and R2-D2 in it. I'd like to find that too if anyone can recount either 🙂
