Re: Required common programming language



Our computer science people here (who know a lot more about programing
languages than I do) feel the same way about visual basic.

I would recommend TrueBasic also as an easy to learn, yet
reasonably complete first computer language.. It has the advantage that
it can run on a wide variety of platforms with the same look and feel. It
is a reasonably well structured language, but powerful enough to do a wide
range of tasks.

A person who knows TrueBasic should be able to make the transition
to more sophisticated languages without too much trouble.
