tennantfamily (United Kingdom) (2009/03/26): 30 hour basic is a simple self-instruction course on the language of microcomputers. But programs need more than language: they need structure as well. So the course also teaches you good programming techniques. You'll lkearn how to keep, order and sort files, records and directories; how to print letters and addresses;how to invent your own computer games; how to handle numbers and so on. You can even study the course without a microcomputer!
