Short Course in QBasic :

This text is based upon Venit's successful Programming in QuickBASIC (West, 1991), but uses a simpler, lower level approach. A Short Course in QBasic teaches the core of the QBASIC language, together with fundamental programming principles, using subroutines rather than subprograms. Extensive, proven pedagogy gives students lots of support. This text is intended for a short, introductory course in programming or for the programming component of a computer literacy course. A simpler approach to programming (than Venit's longer book) is accomplished in two fundamental ways: (1) by using subroutines instead of subprograms to modularize programs, and (2) by avoiding sophisticated topics including Shell sort, binary search, random files, and advanced built in functions.
