Old Usborne Programming Series available for free

Posted by Astryl on Feb. 8, 2016, 7:17 a.m.

Usborne has released PDF scans of their old programming series for systems like the ZX Spectrum and C64. These are some of the first programming books I ever read, specifically the Machine Code for Beginners and "Introduction to Computer Programming", both of which I discovered at the library at age 8.

I actually had at that point access to a C64, and spent the time typing in the sample programs.

All books are here, on the right-hand-side of the page:

Only thing I still remember from these books are the illustrations.
