68k Basic Starter Kit

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere.

TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it.

Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

Welcome to the TI-Basic Developer (TI|BD) 68k Basic Starter Kit! This tutorial is designed to help new 68k programmers get their feet off the ground. The tutorial is divided into chapters that each have their own focus, and is meant to be read in sequential order. If you have questions or get stuck, leave a post on the forums and somebody will assist you. Happy coding!
