Applesoft BASIC was a dialect of Microsoft BASIC supplied with the Apple II series of computers. It superseded Integer BASIC and was the BASIC in ROM in all Apple II series computers after the original Apple II model. It was also referred to as FP (from "floating point") because of the command used to invoke it instead of INT for Integer BASIC. Applesoft BASIC was supplied by Microsoft and its name is derived from the names of both Apple and Microsoft. Apple employees, including Randy Wigginton, adapted Microsoft's interpreter for the Apple II and added several features. The first version of Applesoft was released in 1977 only on cassette tape and lacked proper support for high-resolution graphics. Applesoft II, which was made available on cassette and disk and in the ROM of the Apple II Plus and subsequent models, was released in 1978. It is this latter version, which has some syntax differences from the first as well as support for the Apple II high-resolution graphics modes, that most people mean by the term "Applesoft."

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have book for programming in Basic on the Apple
    Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2013

    Got this book as my Apple IIc came with no documentation, only the system disks... one can only go so far with a general knowledge of BASIC (learned on the TRS-80 Model I & III, honed skills on the Color Computer shortly after) - there are subtle differences here and there among the dialects of the language, and to get the most out of it this book is a gold mine. Applesoft II Basic PRogramming Reference Manual shares a prominent space now on the bookshelf... and doesn't stay long over there while I dabble on the occasional programming time on the IIc.
