Module 2

Module 2

Basically this place is all stories and no coding. It's about the projected future of QBasic, in our humble opinion. What sort of future do we think QBasic has? Many people say it is a dead language, with all the new languages like Java, Javalite, C++ and more floating around in space. What's more, even Microsoft has adbandoned it, instead creating this new thing called VB, or Visual Basic, which is like QBasic, but works in a Windows enviroment instead. I guess they don't want to look like a stone-age dinosaur.

Basically, QBasic, to be frank, has an incredibly small following. Very few people want to take up QBasic because they think it's a lousy dinosaur Stone-Age language, which you can't do any cool stuff with. But that's not true. In our download section are lots of cool programs, all done with QBasic. But what can we do to correct this misconception?

That is precisely what this page is trying to do. We're trying to increase awareness of the plight of QBasic, to tell people that it's not that bad. What QBasic needs is a revival, a fresh surge of interest that will help bring this old language back to life. Then maybe, with enough support, someone high up there in the golden sky will do something about it, maybe add new commmands, a new interface.

To put it this way, QBasic is a struggling language. I foresee a gloomy future, unless someone does something about it. And you can too, by learning QBasic.
