Recommendation To Learn FreeBASIC

Question

I'm now going to have a home project that I need to learn FreeBASIC, and it syntax is like QuickBASIC as on the wiki:

FreeBasic is a BASIC compiler with syntax compatible to QuickBasic, with several improvements that make it a viable compiler for Operating System Development.

But what did you suggest to me?

More suggestions are always welcome.

Answer 1

I helped my girlfriend learn QBasic some years ago using Michael Trombetta's book QBasic for Students. A very sensible and didactically sound approach. But the most recent edition was published in 1993.

Still seems to be available from Amazon, though. Used, with prices ranging up from 52c.

Answer 2

There are some tutorials on their Wiki site, and a nicely laid out Programmer's Guide. They have released an open source beginner's guide book on SourceForge
