Programming the Electron has been written by the same team of authors as the successful Programming the BBC Micro. The book teaches you how to program and use the Acorn Electron, and very soon you will find yourself making use of the very sophisticated features of this remarkable microcomputer.
After a short introduction to the machine and how to get started with it, some general points on programming technique are introduced. More specific features of Electron BASIC are then covered, including the graphics facilities, string handling, mathetmatical functions, random numbers, and the sound feature.
Two subsequent chapters introduce bits and bytes, hexadecimal numbers and assembly language programming. The interfacing features of the machine are discussed next, and the book closes with a look at file handling. Useful appendices cover the technical specification of the Electron, error messages, ASCII codes, and the 6502 instruction set.
This is an essential book for users of the Acorn Electron hoping to get to grips with the machine and put it to good use.
The authors are from the Microelectronics Educational Development Centre, which produces and develops software for use in Scottish colleges and universities.
