VCF East — Commodore Classroom
Commodore Classroom in Room 2 – CDL – Building 9059
Come visit our “Commodore Classroom”. Learn the essentials of programming in BASIC and 6502 Assembly language on real Commodore 64 computer hardware. Every vintage computer hobbyist shouldn’t miss experiencing the appeal of programming with Commodore’s full screen editor, a feature that was ahead of its time among its competitors. Familiarize yourself with this historical computer with a hands-on coding experience. Learn the user-friendly Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code (BASIC) language, or get deep into the hardware using low-level Assembly language.
Daily schedules include periods of open computer time, during which you can explore programming, games, and applications that we have available.
(Class size is limited. Please come to the classroom at 8am each day to sign up for a spot in that day’s classroom schedule.)
Learn about the history of Commodore Business Machines. Attend a presentation provided by Dave McMurtrie, creator and administrator of the Commodore International Historical Society Facebook group, and the www.commodore.international website.
