Editing Understanding Apple Basic 1983

'''''Understanding Apple BASIC: Step-by-Step Instruction for the Beginner &mdash; An Alfred Handy Guide''''' by '''Richard G. Peddicord''', Alfred Publishing Co., Sherman Oaks, California, 1983. The scan is '''62 pages'''.

== What it covers ==
A pocket guide to Applesoft BASIC. '''It is about the Apple II, not the Macintosh''' &mdash;
it predates the Macintosh entirely &mdash; and at 62 pages it is the shortest document in this
category.

The copyright page carries a disclaimer worth quoting: "This Handy Guide '''is not a publication of
Apple Computer Inc.''' and should not be used in lieu of the instruction manuals that accompany their
products. All information regarding Apple computers may not be accurate or completely up to date.&rdquo;

== This is not a repair source ==
This is a '''programming''' book. It contains '''no schematics, no parts lists, no component values,
no voltages, no connector pinouts and no service procedures''', and nothing in it should be cited for
a hardware figure. Apple's software documentation and its compiler manuals describe the machine as
the programmer sees it, which is not the machine the technician sees.

For hardware data use:
* [[:Category:Apple Service Source|Apple Service Source]] &mdash; Apple's own service manuals, module
  level: specifications, symptom charts, take-apart and module part numbers
* Apple's '''Developer Notes''' &mdash; the one class of Apple developer document that ''does'' carry
  rail currents, expansion-slot power budgets and connector pinouts. Several are held here, for
  example [[Macintosh IIci Developer Note]], [[Macintosh IIsi Developer Note]] and
  [[Macintosh LC 475 and Quadra 605 Developer Note]].
* [[Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets]] and [[The Dead Mac Scrolls]] &mdash; component-level, for
  the compact Macs


== Related documents held here ==
* [[Apple II Reference Manual]] &mdash; Apple's own reference for the machine this describes
* [[Apple IIe Reference Manual]]
