BASIC
BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code ) [2] is a family of general-purpose , high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use. In 1964, John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz designed the original BASIC language at Dartmouth College . They wanted to enable students in fields other than science and mathematics to use computers. At the time, nearly all use of computers required writing custom software, which was something only scientists and mathematicians tended to learn.

In computer programming , BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code [1] ) is a family of high-level programming languages . The original BASIC was designed in 1964 by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire , USA to provide computer access to non-science students. At the time, nearly all use of computers required writing custom software, which was something only scientists and mathematicians tended to do. The language and its variants became widespread on microcomputers in the late 1970s and 1980s. BASIC remains popular to this day in a handful of highly modified dialects and new languages influenced by BASIC such as Microsoft Visual Basic . As of 2006, 59% of developers for the .NET platform used Visual Basic .NET as their only language. [2] |

The BASIC - Programming Language is a high-level programming language invented in 1964 by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College. It was designed to allow students not in science fields to use computers. At the time all computer use required writing custom software, which was something only scientists and mathematicians tended to do. The name is an acromyn for B eginner's A ll-purpose S ymbolic I nstruction C ode. (c.1). The acronym is not related to C. K. Ogden's series titled "Basic English."(c.1) The acronym is tied to the name of an unpublished paper by Thomas Kurtz . |
