Exploring the Electron

This is a book that no Electron owner will want to miss. It will guide you step-by-step from the moment when you first plug in and switch on to a stage where you'll be making full use of the Electron's capabilities.

BASIC, the Electron's programming language, is described clearly and simply in such a way that you'll be writing programs at an early stage. Then, in the second half of the book, you can explore the exciting world of sound, graphics and animation. Soon you'll be

• inventing and playing games
• writing and listening to music
• producing and watching animated graphics
• all in the comfort of your own front room.

A further book Advanced Programming Techniques For The Electron by the same authors contains ideas for even more exciting programs and projects. There is a whole world waiting to be explored and the voyage of discovery begins on page one of The Electron Book: BASIC, Sound And Graphics.
