QBasic gave me my start in PC programming when I was a freshman in high school. When I was younger, I learned to code on my Commodore 64. I loved QBasic so much I saved up every penny I could to buy the QuickBasic Compiler. One thing I missed from that era was how much documentation came with software. The book for it was HUGE! Tons of detailed code examples taught me so much.

Same here. I started with C64 basic as a kid and graduated to QBasic in HS.
