Ganada Tecnical Books, 1984. — 176 p. — ISBN: 0-24612188-2. There has been an escalating interest in FORTH among micro owners during the past few years. As a result of this, the FORTH language is being made available on an increasing number of popular microcomputers. There are tapes, disks, cartridges and special R O M s , all of which provide FORTH for those micros which...
Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1985. — 110 p. — ISBN: 0-632-01436-9. This book is more than an instruction manual on FORTH , for it attempts to provide information not only on how to use the language but also on the way it can be implemented. Indeed the intelligent reader, by the time that he has read to the end, should be in a position to implement his own version of F O R...
Addison-Wesley, 1986. — 100 p. — ISBN: 0-201-18050-2. Most computer languages appear to have a field of use for which they are most appropriate. Forth is no exception and has become the standard language of the International Astronomical Union and is used for the control of radio telescopes. Forth naturally finds its way into other control applications such as process control,...
Osborne|McGraw-Hill, 1982. — ISBN: 0-931988-79-9. Describes FORTH Syntax as Applied to Both FORTH-79 & FigFORTH, with Notes on Logical Extensions & Alternatives to Standard Syntax. This book is an attempt to put what I've learned about F O R T H into a coherent, organized introduction that others new to the language will appreciate. Some of the material here is a tightly...
Micro Books, 1985. — 128 p. FORTH is a very unusual and exciting language. It is fast, compact, and very versatile. A good FORTH program can run at up to three-quarters of the speed of the equivalent machine code version; yet at the same time, for many applications it is as easy to use as BASIC. FORTH is also a language of the future. It is available for most home micros, and...
Newnes Technical Books, 1984. — 148 p. — ISBN0-408-01366-4. F O R T H is a language that has, relatively recently, become particularly popular on microcomputers. The reason is quite simple: it is easy to use, and runs a lot faster than interpreted BASIC. Until fairly recently, users of micros have written their programs in BASIC because it is easy to learn, easy to use, and...
London; Sydney: Pan Books, 1985. — 239 p. — ISBN: 0-330-28960-8. Despite massive support from the old computer establishment the BASIC programming language has now been widely discredited at every level. There are various suitable alternatives available for home users, and as the market matures these are becoming increasingly popular. This book is about a powerful computer...
Howard W Sams, 1983. — 246 p. — ISBN: 0-672-22007-5. Ever since the advent of FORTRAN in the 1950s, so many high-level languages have been introduced that few people can keep track of them. Some of these languages generated initial excitement, then slowly faded from the scene. Other languages were well conceived, but were so difficult to use that they, too, disappeared. Still...
MelbourneHouse, 1984. — 134 p. — ISBN: 0-86161-142-X. FORTH was the brain child of a man called Charles Moore. After trying out various aspects of the concept for some years, he began to fit them together towards the end of the nineteen-sixties, though it was some time before a completely coherent version emerged. Seeing his invention as a 'fourth generation' computer language,...
Sigma Tecnical Press, 1983. — 131 p. — ISBN: 0-905104-22-6. How best to read this book Like any new programming language FORTH must be learned from the ground floor up. There may be quite a few floors in the FORTH building, but the effort is exceedingly worthwhile, as I hope I showed earlier in this introduction! Nevertheless, FORTH is an interactive language, meaning that...
