Hi, Rmteo

If your first reference is useful to understand the Pics themselves, the second is TOTALLY unadapted to help a PbP Beginner for Basic, as the two " basics" are much, much, much differents one from the other ...

let's say ... Pbp looks like the old GWBasic - or very close to Parallax Basic ... But Mikroelektronika Basic ( did I say " Basiç " ??? ) looks very, very, very close to " C " ...

Do not tell me " false " ... as I use those 3 Compilers !!!

Sooooo, the best Basic course for PbP you can find is PARALLAX ... here:

here ... you'll find a progressive and comprehensive learning curve, with level adapted examples, and OVERALL ...
What you've learnt is directly re-usable ...

last, but not least !
