This chapter attempts to provide a very quick run through the fundamentals of creating a program in Tibbo Basic. It was written under the assumption that the reader has some experience in programming for other languages.

There is a marked resemblance between Tibbo Basic and other types of BASIC that you may already know. Thus, we stressed the differences between Tibbo Basic and other BASIC implementations. Some sections begin with a seemingly introductory statement, but the material quickly escalates into more advanced explanations and examples.

This is not a programming tutorial. We do not attempt to teach you how to program in general. There are many excellent books which already exist on this subject, and we did not set out to compete with any of them. This is a mere attempt at explaining Tibbo Basic -- no more, no less.

Good luck!
