#1897 — Beginning BASIC

Hello,
I've recently been given an Acorn A5000, and would like to start 
learming how to program in BASIC.

Can anyone recommend any good websites for tutorials, or perhaps some 
books? (Assuming that the books are still available!)

Many Thanks,
Chris

Here's both:

http://web.archive.org/web/20070206022909/http://www.chris.fox.ukgateway.net/mfoxbooks/index.html

I believe it was reprinted by Alligata in 2003:

Good luck finding a copy these days, though.

The Alligata version has not been reprinted for some time and I believe is
no longer available. However the book was published in Volume 9 of RISC
World and is included on the RISC World CDs and DVD or from the <a
href="http://www.riscworld.co.uk">RISC World website.</a>

The BBC Basic Manual is available as a PDF and includes much advice
and tuition.
It, and other resources are linked to from

http://www.riscoscode.com/Pages/Item0007.html#eBooks

You want the 06 Apr item

With best wishes,
Martin

Thanks for the help everyone, I'm working my way through "First Steps 
in Programming RISC OS Computers" by Martyn Fox.

Many Thanks,
Chris.

There's "Starting BASIC" by the late Ray Favre.  These days it's published
by Abbey Press, and costs £16 for book, disc and P&P (with the proceeds
going to charity).  See

  http://www.rayfavre.me.uk/Book1.html

for details and the option of downloading a sample (in an unhelpful format).
