The Working Dragon 32

The Dragon 32 has been privileged with a deluge of books claiming to advance the programming prowess of its user.

This lucrative market has probably been saturated to such an extent that more fertile fields of endeavour for the Dragon user must be found and exploited.

The Working Dragon has been written to put the Dragon to work on "serious" tasks like "managing your money".

The author claims the book is designed to be used, not read. It illustrates a modular approach to programming - progressing through a series of subroutines which can be fabricated into "serious" application programs.

Contents include sub-routines for running databases, keeping financial records and displaying accounts.

It's a good one, but you'd be well advised to learn Basic programming first.
