This one is for someone who doesn't know BlitzMax very well but I warned you that it is Basic BlitzMax(It does Teach you on BlitzMax such all the BlitzMax Commands!) that this Book doesn't Teach you on how do OOP or Method which is a shame.
GOOD
Teach you everythings in BlitzMax Commands
It explain very well from starting to end of the book
BAD
No Teaching you on OOP or Method
No Open GL
No MiniB3D
** So all above on negative is the fact that the Person who made the book doesnt have time to have all those things in hence why He had TIGHT Deadline to finished the book I think.
The price of the Book is round from £10 to £15
