Coding with dad on the Dragon 32

Admiral Grace Hopper

A good place to start

I hope that your daughter enjoys the experience as much as I did.

I couldn't get near the RM380Z at school as it was monopolised by two boys in awful jumpers (Hi Andy! Hi Chris!) who didn't allow girls into their fiefdom. When my Dad bought us a Dragon 32 it was my gateway to a new world, one in which I have lived and made my living since leaving university. If you can learn how to make something work in BASIC in that sort of restricted environment then you will have a good toolset at your disposal for later life.

I was your daughter as much fun with this machine as I had.
