Have you ever heard of Liberty BASIC or Qbasic -- Or Qbasic's Sister Languages, FreeBasic or GW-BASIC? They are pretty old, but I still use it though. :P These are good languages to start if you have never programmed before, as it has the base and will help you fully understand the concept of most other languages. :D Liberty BASIC is making its come back. Even though its as much as $119.95 if you get alot of extra UN-NEEDED features, you can get 20% just by telling them how you found out about Libery BASIC! :D Its not apart of Qbasic or its Sister Languages, but it is as simple if not easier and better. It has the ability to create some of today's best programs with a little programming! :P

Hi..At school we were learning a basic of QBASIC but it was really hard and you must have a really good brain for it. It isn't hard to make some software but you just must have a good psychic for it..But QBASIC is really old software and if you want to learn programming then just use C++ or other newer software. I hate Qbasic because it sometimes just freeze and if you haven't your program saved then you can do all from start :D QBASIC is really bad program for learning..And program which you make in QBASIC is in bad format and if you trying to recode it to other it just write many times: Error on line 5 (or other). But I don't know now if at school it was Qbasic or GW basic :P But as I said me and my friend were very angry from using this *BLEEP* program :D But if you just want to try make some little program which will give result for 5+5 or other then you can do it in QBASIC too but find on google some converters for files from Qbasic to .exe :P All programators are using C++ or other bigger and harder softwares.

Yes, I've heard of them... And used them... First, BASIC V2 on my Commodore 64, over 12 or 13 years ago.. Then QBasic 4.0 on my first PC, then tried GW Basic and Basica, but they were a lot less powerful than QB, and then I got ahold og QBasic 7.1 Extended edition... I made tns and tons of programms with (Q)Basic languages, and it's not true they are hard to learn... Basic is one of the easiest languages to learn, and that's about the first language that is tought.. Basic, and Pascal...I created login protections, many user applications only I had use for, like spreadsheet under DOS, when everyone was using excel, I made several database engines, numerous phone book programs, with different functionalities... Games, countles and countles games... Drawing program in DOS, that used a mouse, and 640x480 resolution!Ahh... Those were the days...

Man I haven't Seen Qbasic in years, never did any programming but played a few games off of Qbasic back in the mid 90's. If I remember correctly they discontinued the qbasic core on Windows ME/200 platform, since MS-DOS was becoming a old outdated system core. I new it came installed on Windows 95 and I believe 98 as well.
