1.00 - PREFACE: Explaining this page contents...

Here you will find...

• CODE REPOSITORY: QB64 example codes/programs; all of which you can freely download, and, practice studying/learning from.

On this page itself, I've included...

• CODE: Comparing the many different BASIC programming language versions
• LINKS: Where you can both find/download a FREE copy of QB64; as well as, various online resources to QB64 programming tutorials.
• PICS: Included are some actual QB64 screenshot printouts...; so you can actually get to see what the QB64 IDE/Integrated Development Environment looks like.

NOTE: All resources which you see here...including program code/screenshot printouts/this ReadMe document explanatory page were created by me, alone; and, without any outside help from others.

1.01 - Multiple different BASIC programming language versions

Original BASIC

10 CLS
20 PRINT "Hello, world!"
30 END

Modern BASIC

CLS
PRINT "Hello, world!"
END

VB6/(Visual BASIC 6)

txtMessage.Value = "Hello, world!" ...or,... Debug.Print("Hello, world!")

VBScript/(Visual BASIC Script)

MsgBox("Hello, world!") ...or,... document.write "Hello, world!"

VB.Net/(Visual BASIC.Net)

Console.Clear() Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!") Console.ReadLine()

...thus, as you can see from the above example codes; my education in learning how to use the BASIC family of programming languages does remain a constantly ongoing task.
