IUammin~ for the Utter Be~nner, an introduction to programming that uses Forth as the language, was published by Laboratory Microsystems, Inc. in Los Angeles. Michael continues to believe that Forth has many characteristics that make it a good language for a programming beginner. Tonight's topic is "Teaching Forth as a First Language". Please welcome our special guest, Michael Ham. Michael Ham: Thanks, Gary.
