What do I start with? Let's say, you're in 9th grade (or teaching a 9th-grade student). Or maybe you're an adult and want a dummy's guide to programming. These books are designed to be for curriculum or for self-study. You should start with one of the beginner books that are designed for middle school and up: Learn to Program with Small Basic (by Ed Price & Majed Marji; published by No Starch Press) or Beginning Microsoft Small Basic (by Philip Conrod and Lou Tylee; published by Kidware Software).
