A BASIC Noob

Post by Sarenicus »


Hi I've been following the development for this project for a while, and I would like to develop software. But I have no knowledge of programming or even the basics so I'm a complete noob. Any tips on where to begin?

If you were to buy a brand-new Commodore 64, you would get this in the user's guide: https://www.commodore.ca/manuals/c64_users_guide/c64-users_guide-03-beginning_basic_programming.pdf

Yuppers, it's all good. The only thing to be steer clear of are POKE commands, those are going to be different on the X16.
