Data Becker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Data Becker GmbH & Co. KG is a German publisher of computer books and software. It was founded in Düsseldorf in 1980 by Dr. Achim Becker and Harald Becker, and opened its first store in 1981.

[edit] The 1980s: Home computing

In the beginning, Data Becker catered primarily to users of Commodore 64 and C128 home computers, publishing an extensive range of books as well as programming tools and application software. The most advanced of the company's books delved deeply into the internals of the aforementioned computers and their peripherals, often revealing features that were undocumented by the manufacturer.

In the United States, English editions of Data Becker's home computing books and software were published by Abacus Software. In the British market, First Publishing, Ltd, did the same job. The Danish and Norwegian markets were supplied with Danish language editions of the software and books by publishing house Nordic Computer Software (NCS). The French editions were published by Micro Application.
