Jeff, Indeed! Similar to the Apple class, we’ll have example programs to type in that teach key programming concepts that are specific to the Atari. On Thu, Dec 28, 2023 at 8:39 PM Jeff Salzman <jeff.salzman@vcfed.org> wrote:
You can always teach others how we "installed apps" back in the day like I did in my video using an Atari.

All, Being that it’s the 45th anniversary of the release of the Atari computer and continuing the still popular 6502 theme, I will be doing an Atari classroom similar to the Apple classroom that was done two years ago.
I have a quantity of Atari computers that I am reconditioning in advance of the class, but I’m anticipating that I will be needing more working units of any of the Atari 8-bit family. My ask is that if anyone has machines to sell/lend/donate for this effort, it would be greatly appreciated.
As well, I welcome any teaching assistance from anyone who has experience with Atari BASIC and/or assembly language. The courses will be similar to the Apple classes with beginning and advanced BASIC/assembly and an overview of the system architecture.
Thank you, Dean
p.s. - Planned for next year is a CoCo classroom to give the 6809 some love, so I’ll be bugging everyone again at that time ;-)
