Starting point to Atari 1040 ST

[kilgore]

Hi everyone. I'm just a newbie in the Atari World. I would like to develop some applications in C or GFA Basic and also know the basis of the Atari 1040 ST capabilities, operation and so on. Which starting points - documents, links, books, etc...- could you recommend me? Thank you

Best regards
