Hello, world! sais the IBM Personal Computer 5150 - Part 4: Interpreters & Compilers
Hello, world!
In this series of videos, I'm putting myself in the place of a computer programmer in 1981, starting out on the brand new IBM Personal Computer, model 5150. This iconic computer is the very first "PC" in the modern sense of the word. As such, its operation and programming environment were brand new to a 1981 software developer.
In this episode, our 1981 programmer sill use the BASIC compiler, providing a different approach to running the BASIC programs developed in the previous episodes.
