Excellent book! This is what I call litterature!
It covers everything about Basic4ppc, like a Bible for coders. You might call it the K&R of Basic4ppc.
I liked the part about good user interfaces, which is something I think a lot of people need help with.

Thank you Klaus and Filippo

Klaus - thank you for the comments - all are fixed. I'm sure there are more, so please don't hesitate to say...

As for the links - I'm having troubles with the conversion to pdf, meanwhile links from the Table of Contents cannot be created. I hope I'll fix it in a few days.

The link to the source is fixed.
