Overview

First published in 1984, this book helped many a budding coder get to grips with the BBC Micro computer, a machine first released in 1981 as part of the BBC Computer Literacy project. Gently introducing the reader to the concept of programming - something that was totally new to many people at the time - the book is fondly remembered by those who read it back in the 1980s. It is still a useful reference guide for anyone interested in the foundations of retro computer programming, or as a nostalgic text for fans of the BBC's much-loved computer.* * *As the original publisher Melbourne House wrote: Building Blocks for BBC Games is the book for all BBC enthusiasts!
