Does anyone know of any good BASIC (yes, the real old programming language

) tutorials?

Unfortunately, my programming course for school is teaching us the basics of programming with that hunk o' junk. At least I can look forward to C++ in grade 11.

Anyway, if you know of any please post me a link! BASIC is a very common word so googling it turns up all sorts of results.

TIA

I've been looking, but that's a tough one!

Hopefully someone else can find something

It is tough eh? I can't believe it, I eneded up with a search query with about 10 "-" terms, and still nuffin! How old is BASIC anyway?

Here's some of the directory listings from some search engines.

Thanks prissed

I was thinking, it has to be QBASIC right? I mean, it'll more then likely be running on MS-DOS... I hope so anyway..

It'll most likely be QBASIC...but you never know...you may get some teacher that is into really obscure stuff. lol. But for the most part they're all very similar, so if you read up on one, it should familiarize you with another.

Probbly the best QBasic website:
http://www.qbasic.com

Loads of programs which you can learn from, some tutorials and lots more. I used to be on there all the time when I was learning QB.
