The first computer language I learned was BASIC, just like you, but the first computer I worked on was a mainframe through a Teletype terminal in classes at the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley.

Small Basic is a recent offering from Microsoft based on the venerable BASIC programming language and implemented with .NET.

Ah yes, my first programming language on trash-80. I wouldn't go back tho. However, I would take Basic any day over Cobol. I'm getting really tired of migrating old code from the 70s.
