You guys are gonna kill me, I know it! lol But here we go.
For many years now, I've been saying that I wanna learn BASIC but didn't know which kind. So I finally went on Wikipedia to look it up. First generation BASIC seems overly complicated. Visual Basic (which I knew from the start I didn't want) is object oriented and, well, visual and QBasic lacks some of the features of Quick BASIC. Plus, there seems to be alot out there on Quick BASIC and I liked the little example they gave. It was simple enough for a complete novis like me to unjderstand. So that's what I've chosen to study. Now, what software will I need to do this? I hear QBASIC is included in Dos 5.0 and 6.22 but where do I go to find things for Quick BASIC?
Finally, when I'm more advanced, what language can I use to write a totally text-based webpage or series of pages with links? I don't wanna play around with something like html cause it's not all that accessible from what I've heard. I want something that's easy to understand and besides, I'm interested in what else is out there for writing pages for the web. Thanks and I'll be quiet now. lol
