Title: What books would you recommend on Amiga programming
Post by: trekiej on May 30, 2008, 10:51:42 PM

C.
C++.
Assembly Language.

I have found some books online and do not know much about them. I wanted to ask someone first.
Thanks.

The RKM Libraries volume is worth getting IMO. RKM's and other stuff are all in the DevCD but nothing's like a book really.

"Amiga System Programmer's Guide" is awesome, it's one of the most frequently read books I have.

It depends on what language you are interested in.

If you are interested in 'C' or 'C++' the RKM manuals
are a must and just about any beginners books, if thats
what you are. Then join a Yahoo support group.
But if you're interested in basic there's AMOS not too
many books out on Amos but its well supported in the
Yahoo groups. There's also AmiBlitz, also not many books
out on AmiBlitz (formerly Blitz Basic).
Then there's ACE Basic (a compiling version of AmigaBasic)
Ace Basic is my choice, I ignore all the Bad-Mouthing
AmigaBasic gets, its better then you are led to beleave.
Lots of books around on AmigaBasic.
