Learning How To Make Software
My first experiences in computer programming were in QBasic, a simple DOS based version of BASIC. Qbasic has evolved into VB.NET and it’s sister C# and the development software Visual Studio. While an amazing tool set it just isn’t as simple as it once was. It would likely have overwhelmed me as a 7th grader.
Check out Microsoft’s Small Basic. It makes learning to program simple again, it has a built in turtle (for those that remember LOGO), and it’s free.

The link it broken. Perhaps it was meant to link to this site?

The program here is called Small Basic though. I couldn’t find Microsoft’s Simple Basic.

You’re right. Somehow I got both the name and the link wrong. Thanks.

I love this program! It’s easy to learn and telesense is awesome because I don’t have to know the code’s name, but I can just easily find it!

Wow thank you for this. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time!
