The ST range, with its amazing speed, huge memory and crisp resolution is a "dream machine" for programmers. The contents of the book are as innovative as the ST itself, both the 520 ST and 260 ST, and written by one of Sigma's top authors. Here are just some of the contents: The GEM philosophy - understanding the GEM desktop and its underlying concepts; programming in BASIC - including graphics effects and the control of files and disk drives; LOGO - how to produce graphical output and to manipulate LOGO lists (a feature often omitted in elementary books); GEM architecture - a more detailed discussion of GEM technical features, including transportability; TOS - an alternative operating system and its relationship to CP/M; programming in C - developing programs in the C language under GEM including files and graphics; advanced GEM - including the virtual device interface and technical features for advanced programmers.
