Fourteen days. One compiler. Every listing compiled, every output captured.
FreeBASIC looks like the BASIC of a home computer and compiles like C. Its Integer is 8 bytes, its records carry padding and its objects carry a hidden pointer, so habits from either side give wrong answers.
Day 1 builds a program from the command line and measures its types. Day 5 starts cardfile, a card index, with one record. Day 7 adds objects and virtual methods. Day 14 assembles cardfile whole: a binary store, an in-memory index, a command shell and its tests.
313 worked examples, each a whole program compiled with fbc 1.10.1. 285 output blocks, each captured from a real run. 314 figures drawn for a black-and-white press. 994 problems over five sets a chapter.
YOUR 14-DAY PATH
Day 1 - The Program and its Types: integer and real types, text, conversion and the three dialects of one compiler.
Day 2 - Deciding and Repeating: If, Select Case, the operators, short-circuit tests and every loop form.
Day 3 - Procedures: Sub and Function, ByVal against ByRef, overloading, defaults and recursion.
Day 4 - Arrays and Strings: fixed and dynamic arrays, bounds, many dimensions, and text taken apart and built.
Day 5 - Types of Your Own: records, the padding inside them, unions, enums, methods and properties.
Day 6 - Pointers and Memory: addresses, pointer types, New and Delete, Allocate, and pointers to procedures.
Day 7 - Objects: Extends, Virtual, Abstract, the vtable measured in bytes, operators and copying.
Day 8 - Modules and Scope: Include, headers, namespaces, public and private, a library and the build line.
Day 9 - When Things Go Wrong: runtime errors, the checks and their cost, On Error, Assert and cleaning up.
Day 10 - Files: text, random-access and binary files, and what each one writes to the disk.
Day 11 - The Preprocessor: Define and Macro, conditional compilation, guards and compile-time asserts.
Day 12 - Testing and Measuring: a test runner in forty lines, table-driven tests, timing and a caught regression.
Day 13 - Talking to C and the System: names in the object file, the C runtime, strings and bytes across it, threads.
Day 14 - One Whole Program: cardfile assembled from its record, index, store, commands, reports and tests.
WHO IT IS FOR. Programmers who have written a program in any language and want FreeBASIC taught as a compiled language. Students and interview candidates who need to know what the compiler actually does. Not needed: C, object-oriented programming or an IDE. A text editor and the free fbc compiler are the whole toolchain.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
