Learning BASIC for the Macintosh
[ Technical researcher and writer. ] In 1984, we had one of the first Macintoshes (an original, 128K Mac) before they were available to the public. Because of my Apple II background, I was selected to research this rendition of the BASIC manuscript. Microsoft BASIC 2.0 on the Mac was so different than anything before it, the book literally required a complete rewrite. I did my best to manufacture prose in the witty Lien style, an exercise that gave me confidence to write on my own.
