RISC OS System Programming Revealed
Discover the best OS for the Raspberry Pi
RISC OS is the best alternative OS available. It is different but shows what can be done differently. This OS was developed 40 years ago and has remained one of the most flexible. It has an active user group readily looking after these great pieces of software—a great alternative to Unix-based systems.
This book takes the lid off the RISC OS operating system and reveals how to use it.
Aimed at those wishing to learn how to program RISC OS directly but are struggling with the Programmers Reference Manuals (PRMs) or don’t know where to start – this book will teach you everything you need to know to get the most from RISC OS running on your Raspberry Pi. Providing lucid descriptions, award-winning author Bruce Smith keeps things simple and includes plenty of examples you can try for yourself. Ideas and concepts are introduced in the order required, so you should never be left wondering.
Raspberry Pi RISC OS System Programming Revealed is your first step to understanding RISC OS and using the PRMs to full effect. Examples are provided in BBC BASIC and Assembler, which can be downloaded from the book support page here.
