Had lots of fun with QBasic as a kid :)
- rietta 8y agoI have a fond place for QBasic. I started to teach myself programming (as a 14 year old in the 90s) with GW Basic because my dad's older computer had disks and a manual. I quickly learned that if I upgraded to DOS 5 I could get QBasic and I did so along with a book from the library on QBasic programming. I tore into that book. I think I renewed by checkout as many times as they let me. I never stopped programming everyday from that day until well into adulthood. Now I have had some days where I haven't programmed in the last 25 years. QBasic was a life changing moment for me.
- arcticwombat 8y agoI'm the same. QBasic, GW Basic, Commodore 64, those were the big ones for me as a kid. Without them, I probably wouldn't be a programmer today.
