Atari 8-bit

This is a collection of books on programming for Atari 8-bit computers, including the Atari 400/800 and the XL/XE series. These books cover a range of programming languages and techniques, including Atari BASIC, Assembly, and machine language. Popular titles from the era include "Atari BASIC: A Self-Teaching Guide" by Albrecht and "Machine Language for Beginners" by Richard Mansfield. These books guide users through creating simple games, utilities, and even delving into deeper system-level programming for more advanced users.

Many of these resources focus on the specific quirks of the Atari 8-bit series, such as handling graphics modes, sound capabilities, and memory management. They not only provided practical programming techniques but also inspired creativity in the growing home computing scene of the 1980s. Collectors and retro computing enthusiasts continue to seek out these books as valuable resources for understanding and preserving the programming knowledge of that era.
