Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-21 00:00:00 Stephen Brown I enjoyed this early BASIC programming tuition book, but had some quite major issues with it. On the plus side the Sherlock Holmes content was great fun and entertaining, imagining the great detective using Babbage's Analytical Engine and trying to teach programming to Dr Watson. On the downside I found some of the programming decisions to be quite bizarre, and wonder how much anyone reading this in 1982 would have learned practically. Also it was a shame that the most impressive program for me appeared at the start, with relatively simpler programs after that. On the plus side there was a good chapter advocating top-down design. So not exactly a success, but a worthy experiment, and an interesting read. |
