Kerm Martian's TI-BASIC Tutorial

This tutorial was created in May 2003. Since then, I have matured greatly as a technical writer and a TI-BASIC programmer. I strongly recommend that you check out Programming the TI-83+/84+, a 325-page book I'm currently completing about TI-BASIC programming. It is a thorough compendium of learning TI-BASIC and a great introduction to programming in general for the beginner. I've sprinkled it with tons of hands-on examples and screenshots for your enjoyment. I begin with three examples to get your feet wet in the very first chapter, then move through input and output, the basic building blocks of program flow, planning and building complete, fast, small programs, then move on to using the graphscreen for fancier programs. I spend the last third of the book on advanced techniques using clever optimizations, Hybrid BASIC, and a brief overview of z80 ASM. Learn more and read the first chapter...
