TBH, I could never do something even close to what you've already done. Documentation was always my weakest point   I personally would have also set a focus on what the hardware is that you can run MMBasic on at the beginning. As PicoMite and Maximite are quite different targets, I feel it could be helpful for the reader to understand what is needed to get something running that covers his vision. This could be from a stamp sized board controlling some external hardware to a more or less self contained system. If you present that broad line of possibilities beforehand, maybe in some short examples ranging from-to (maybe just by mentioning some examples that one may imagine to be implemented), it could help the reader to get a better view of what he can excepect to get. From my POV you jump into the language without giving a broader picture first, but the language itself is only part of the game. Thank you very much for your kind words and your thoughtful feedback. I think you have a very good point. My original idea was to get beginners programming as quickly as possible, which is why I start with the first PRINT statement almost immediately. However, I agree that readers who are completely new to MMBasic would probably benefit from a short introduction explaining the different MMBasic platforms and what can be built with them. I already have photos of several MMBasic systems, so adding a short introductory chapter before the programming lessons sounds like a good idea. Thank you for the suggestion!
