I believe you can still purchase it too. I still write quite a few things in VBA. Most of this is for research or teaching purposes where I want to add a few things to Excel, but there is a surprising amount of demand from management consulting companies that want a front end or some sensitivity analysis added to a model that they have developed for a client.
The one called Python. No line numbers but a funny indentation system. Phylter on Dec 13, root parent next [—].
You mean making it a function instead of a statement? A friend once told me "Python is the Visual Basic of the Internet". That still brings a smile to my face. IshKebab on Dec 12, root parent prev next [—].
Python isn't used much on the internet. Surely they meant Javascript? IshKebab on Dec 17, root parent next [—]. I am aware of that. I meant the internet, not the web. I'm a curriculum developer and lead teacher training workshops. When I started, the rest of the team was only doing the BoeBot.
Leadership agreed. It's actually more difficult to teach Arduino in a day or two and hope any of it sticks if the person you're training in coming in with zero programming background. BASIC is still an easy language for complete newbie to pick up in a short amount of time. The ease of learning comes at a cost later on though. I've encouraged teachers to start with BASIC if their students had no prior background or if they themselves feel overwhelmed by the wider pastures of the Arduino.
It may be obtuse and difficult at first, but once it clicks, you can easily slide into any number of other languages with ease. It's limited in the amount of memory on board and python eats embedded memory for lunch. It's time well spent learning Python. It allows students to grow into "what's next" far easier.
Kids that learn Python on something like this robot can easily write the same kind of code on a computer to have it do all sorts of things. Kids in camps that I've run and students in my classroom years ago love learning about the countless python libraries they can use. I casually point out "mouse" and they making "random mouse movement" scripts as a gag.
I always "fall for it" each time. My mouse CarlGundel on Dec 14, parent next [—]. I personally think that BASIC is an excellent first language, but people really should learn several different languages and be exposed to different programming ideas and styles. Nobody has bothered to port it over because it never needed changes. So it sits there doing its thing. The funny thing is that it was converted from C code, which was promptly lost, some ten years ago because we thought it would be easier for the dev unfamiliar with C.
On a personal note, I collect vintage computers. I have too many and stopped counting at Is your collection online somewhere? I really need to catalog it better since it is such a fun collection. Any early UK stuff in there? Atoms and such? Unfortunately no. My collection is almost entirely comprised of machines I had put my hands on in practice. I am just starting to teach my young kids to code.
I haven't found a better solution than old fashion BASIC for that stage when you graduate from Scratch but aren't ready to onboard lot of the complexity of a Python or Racket yet. It's actually a pretty nice RAD environment, as long as you're not going to scale beyond a team of one or two developers!
I use it when writing scripts to parse content out of old Word docs. It's been around for nearly three decades, is very well documented, has excellent support, and is the closest you can get in modern times to the syntax of the original Dartmouth BASIC. So it easily appeals to the old-school crowd like me. But it also has over commands or constants to keep up with modern operating systems and methods which allow for GUI design, event-driven applications, calling DLLs, playing media files, interacting with joysticks, displaying graphics, etc.
SyneRyder on Dec 12, prev next [—]. I've used it to make a business dashboard for my indie software business, a schedule estimating app using "evidence based" Monte Carlo methods, and I was working on a cross platform Micro.
Blog client inspired a lot by Tweetbot. I don't but my dad does. I setup DosBox to run it on Linux. Not really, I dont have any real need to. However, I have very little reason to use it now. There are better and more powerful options today. I teach kids to program via an after school robotics club and Python is so much easier and more powerful than BASIC ever was.
I started programming for fun and relaxation when Sinclair Spectrums first appeared, then on to Commodore and Amstrad. What a beauty. That's a backronym if I ever saw one. Just on the Commander X CC65 targets it, which is fun. I want a physical one when they are released. Nzen on Dec 14, prev next [—]. I work at a company that makes a niche ERP. Within the last ten years, the company ported the ERP to Java.
But, we still use it as a code generator for our dao layer and half the views. Quarterly, I'll go in there to change the templates to improve our dao. It gets the job done. Part of my reticence is ignorance. I am glad I don't need to plan for line numbering in any other realm. Erm, sorta. Jamwinner on Dec 12, prev next [—]. I ocassionaly use it, but mostly only for toy projects.
All the basic code I write is pretty interpreter agnostic after moving from applebasic to msbasic in the 90s. It comes down to what is available on whatever platform I am playing with now. NET circa and was a service in a. NET webapp backend. At the time I was a EE with limited professional programming experience outside of small personal utilities. I echo the sentiment of proxybop; the ability to type things and see something happen is a powerful motivator in learning to code.
As a lot of commenters point out, Python seems to have largely replaced BASIC as the "beginner" language to help teach folks. The REPL reinforces this, imo. I mostly used it for type-ins from magazines.
I also had a little dabble in machine code nearly forty years later I still remember the opcode for Return is "C9" but the learning curve was too steep for me to do anything much. I still wonder whether given tutelage or encouragement in programming I could have got way more out of my computer as a child. Does Visual Basic. NET count? Because I still code in that with Visual Studio VB was one of the most popular languages in the 90's and into early 's.
How did it fall out of favor? Was it because of Microsoft forcing VB into "just another skin" over. NET, i. I was a VB developer when that all went down. VB didn't fall out of favor, Microsoft killed it. UoPeople Policies. Ask a Student. What is Tuition-Free?
