PowerBasic for Console Course - Getting started with the Console Compiler

In this series of videos, which are aimed at those who have never coded in PowerBasic before, I cover one element of the language or programming - today we're looking at adding Staff list and Holidays files to our application to allow prediction of staff availability over the next 90 days using array and date processing.

00:00 - Introduction
00:42 - Looking forward
01:59 - Adding Staff and Holidays
04:26 - Adding Date Library
06:28 - Amending processing
20:54 - Testing
23:31 - Summary

I don't work for, nor am I paid or sponsored by, the owners of PowerBasic or any company mentioned in these videos , I'm just a fan of their products.
