Exploring Expert Systems on Your Microcomputer

ZX Computing

INTERFACE 2 For an issue to pass without interface publications producing new books is almost unknown, and this grandaddy of computer publishers has just released two more. Tim Hartnell, the original editor of ZXC, wrote the first one which is EXPLORING EXPERT SYSTEMS ON YOUR MICROCOMPUTER. This is an area which seems to have interested him recently and he is probably the home-user's leading authority. An expert System is basically a system which stores information and then by asking the user questions makes decisions. This book explains and discusses the topic in detail and provides several related listings in both machine specific and general form. A fascinating book on a fascinating topic and priced at £7.95. ADVANCED Z80 MACHINE CODE PROGRAMMING by William Nitsche is a book which is long overdue. There are many beginner's guides to machine code on the market and without exception {at least to my knowledge) they explain the language and how it operates but provide little if any information on how to actually USE this in your programming. This book does not explain the 'grammer and spelling' of machine code but concentrates on program writing. Split into chapters titled Design, Structure, Messages, Organisation,The Computer Game, The Business program. The Vicious Circle and Special Applications. This is an absolutely essential companion to your "machine code for beginners' book, even at £12.95.
