QBasic was popular in the late 80s and early 90s. It was the programming language for MSDOS. Not many of you know this language as it is now a leacy programming language – but its successor Visual Basic is still alive and being used in the .NET world.
Recently I digged this book from my garage – and I think the content is quite easy to understand. When I was my son’s age, I learned LOGO programming, and then Pascal, Foxbase, and of course did a little bit coding with QBasic – and 6502 Assembly for 8-bit Famicom.
One of the coolest thing with QBasic is that you can play music using the Play command.
QBasic is a good alternative to Python, Scratch – however you would need to find the QBasic program – and set it up in some MSDOS emulator (virtualization).
QBasic runs on 16-bit DOS – so you would need to emulate this in the modern 32-bit/64-bit OS.
I’ll give this to my sons for a read and see how it goes – if they don’t like it – I’ll recommend Python.
Update: I decide to choose Python as my sons’ first programming language: Book Review: Python for Kids, for Dummies
