Complete in every way

“When I bought this book, I knew nothing about programming calculators, and indeed I did not know very well how to operate the calculator properly. After reading the entire book, I have made several custom programs and passed on knowledge to friends. This book is amazing. It cover TiBasic, as well as hybrid TiBasic, and dips into assembly language. The appendices are extraordinarily helpful, the book is extremely readable. A must have for anyone who is interested in programming their calculator, or even just curious about the calculator itself.”

This book sells for over $700.00 on Amazon or other places, sometimes. The moral of the story is, "Get it while Manning still sells it," I guess.

“I have seen this book for over $700.00 on E-Bay. What? I have also seen it for over $250 with other dealers. What #2?

You can purchase the book directly from Manning, people. Yes, it is a good book to learn programming on the TI-83 or TI-84 Plus. Is it worth over $700? Maybe in 20 years it will be; but not yet.”
