I believe that everyone can learn programming.
Maybe not everyone will become a pro hacker or something,
but everyone can learn to create some easy programs.
Most of you probably heard about HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python or C++.
These languages are great, but all the functions they have can be confusing for beginners
so I was looking for something easier to get started with and I came across Basic-256.
Basic-256 is a simplified Basic syntax.
It's similar to Visual Basic for Applications (MS Office products) and FreeBasic (OpenOffice/LibreOffice Products).
Like other Basic dialects it's an interpreted language.
That means it will be compiled while the program is being executed.
It's a bit easier, because the users don't have to save and compile the code before executing it,
but on the other hand it makes the execution of the program slower
so it's rather not a good choice if you want to create huge apps.
However, after learning Basic-256 it will be easier to learn i. e. Visual Basic for Applications or C++.
To get started with Basic-256 you just have to download the small and lightweight editor from
Sourceforge and install it.
I will post some tutorials, examples and exercises from time to time
so you don't have to read the full manual or other big books
to learn everything the really hard way.
