Does anyone at all use basic code anymore? I recently took the time to learn it as I knew it was one of the first codes and found its relatively simple to use and easy to learn. There is a lot of math and algebra involved which adds a challenge, I made a few simple games and designs for the fun of it.

Basic Code? I've never heard of it...unless you mean coding from the old DOS days??? I'm not sure. Perhaps give a link reference or something?

Wow O.o since 1964 and still is used today O_O it must be pretty good. Lots of languages get outdated fast. I may give it a go as far as learning it. Thanks for the link im googling some tutorials now Smile

Well, it's not really used anymore. It's mostly used now for learning purposes.

When I was young I did all kinds of programming on Basic. On the TSR-80, the Apple II. I used to get books that had basic programs in them, including games and such and you would have to type them into the computer to play them.

Along the way things migrated to Visual Basic, and I guess that still is the basic standard.

Most of the programmers working with Microsoft technologies use Visual Basic 6 or VB.NET today.

Is it the basic where you use ? "Hello";

for output and displays and such? That is the only basic I remember. Also some gosubs and gotos.

Nope, never tried it myself and dont plan to Very Happy

Although it would be great to know, I see little point in learning it if you dont already know it.

Most people under 30 years old and into programming probably have never used BASIC.

I used to dabble with it a little, and still visit a few sites. There is now FreeBASIC (www.freebasic.net) which has brought BASIC up to scratch and made it suitable for modern programs to be written using the simple BASIC language.
