Appendix C. Resource list
Over the past two decades, Texas Instruments and a dedicated, vibrant community of third-party hackers and programmers have independently built a large variety of their own tools, tutorials, reference materials, and perhaps most important, programs and games. From Texas Instruments, you can download OS updates and software to connect your calculator to your computer, but the company offers no programming assistance. The author’s website, Cemetech (“KEH-meh-tek”), provides program downloads, tutorials, a forum for programming help and project discussions, an online TI-BASIC editor and TI-83+ emulator, and news about recent calculator developments. The third major resource is www.ticalc.org, which has the definitive archive of programs and games for your graphing calculator. This appendix provides links to these three websites and a few other smaller sites with handy resources, and it lists specific highlights within the various websites that you might find useful, including tools, program downloads, and tutorials.
First, I’ll enumerate links to some of the most useful resources if you get stuck with learning to program or working on a project: discussion forums to talk to experts.
