Ramblings Book Review

Containing more than 65-programs, the book, “Mastering Your Timex Sinclair 1000™ Personal Computer,” combines text and a “learn-by-programming” approach to introduce the T/S user to the fundamentals of TIMEX Sinclair Programming.

Right from the start, the reader utilizes the book as a “programming guide” to load programs into the T/S 1000. Ranging from simple print commands to some rather sophisticated mathematical applications, the reader begins to learn how the computer is programmed and works.

Highly structured, the book’s topics include loading and saving techniques, hints to use the computer to its fullest capacity, programming concepts and conventions, and an introduction to computer graphics.

Although the book contains much useful information, it will probably be of more assistance to the reader who has some prior knowledge of programming.

“Mastering Your Timex Sinclair 1000 Personal Computer” is written by Tim Hartnell and Dilwyn Jones. Published by Bantam Books, and reasonably priced at $3.95, it is available at local book or computer stores.
