This book is for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, big brothers and sisters, and other mentors who want to share a technology adventure with their primary school student -- learning computer programming on a home-built computer. The computer is low cost and easy to build, and the programming language is a version of BASIC -- the same simple language that launched a generation of geeks in the early 1980’s. Some of those geeks (now all grown up and successful) have created the Pocket Mini Computer, a “throwback” hobbyist platform designed to bring back the computing fun of those early days, without a lot of computer science distraction. This book serves as a simple, understandable guide for mentors and their students to have hours of fun together programming the Pocket Mini Computer in Color BASIC.
