The Electron Micro Guide

the long version

This handy reference guide is an invaluable aid to users of the Acorn Electron. By drawing out simply the key features of the system, it puts the full power of the computer into the hands of every programmer. Techniques are illustrated by many useful examples, including a fast and versatile print routine which adds colour to any graphics display. Guidance is given on all aspects of the machine: animation, sound, recursive data structures, practical tips on problem solving and getting more mileage from your micro. The author is Director of the Ivybridge Educational Computing Project, and his experience with the Electron is hard to match. His clear style, combined with a knack of putting his finger on what you need to know at exactly the right moment, makes this an ideal companion for the busy user.
