Hello, this is my first post on the forum I think!
I got a Colour Maximite computer a few years ago, but didn't use it much until recently. I like the MMBASIC on it but there don't seem to be that many resources for learning it that I know of. Then I found out that MMBASIC is similar to QBASIC so I've been learning that for now instead. I'm interested in various types of BASIC, such as Locomotive BASIC on the Amstrad CPC, Atari BASIC on the Atari 8-bit computers... not a massive fan of Commodore 64 BASIC so far lol, although apparently it was designed to be more efficient, plus there are other forms of Commodore BASIC.
So anyway, I'm learning QBASIC mainly from this book at the moment: "A course in programming with QBASIC" by Tony Hawken. I'm mainly using QB45 via DOSBOX on a Linux PC.. hopefully I'm still welcome on this forum, come to think of it lol.
Hoping that posting here will help motivate me to learn BASIC quicker!
