I have never heard of QBasic, but now I want to learn it just to understand your experiences with it and grasp why you think it's how programming should be versus how programming is now. Maybe we can learn a thing or two from the past?

It’s a really fun language to play in. I also recommend Modula 2 - it’s more C-like but is equally easy to get something up an running with.

Not parent, but here's a few bits: check out pete's qb site for programs and code snippets for one point of reference: http://www.petesqbsite.com/downloads/downloads.shtml http://www.petesqbsite.com/downloads/downloads.shtml In my opinion it's great because of how accessible it is. It's very easy to experiment with unfamiliar commands and rapid prototype. I learned QBasic before Pascal and C++, and was disappointed at the absence of an equivalent to many of the functions that made programming quicker and easier.

  That's the site I used the most, together with qbasic.com (which is no longer up) :)
