GWBASIC

GW-BASIC is a dialect of the BASIC programming language developed by Microsoft from BASICA, originally for Compaq. It is otherwise identical to Microsoft/IBM BASICA, but is a fully self-contained executable and does not need the ROM BASIC.

GW-BASIC was once the main language used on home computers and is still useful in learning the fundamentals of computer programming and smaller utility programs. It still runs on Microsoft Windows computers thru WindowsXP, though not in a window, but on the black screen used for MS-DOS programming above that will pop up when you click on the GWBASIC icon.

GW-BASIC is an interpreted language which means that it isn't compiled. You type the program in or copy and paste it into a text ( Notepad ) file saved with the name and a .BAS suffix, surrounded by quotation marks. Entering "run" will start the program. GW-BASIC uses line numbers and runs and saves files with a ".BAS" suffix in the same file as the interpreter. You can also run a program by "dragging and dropping" the program on top of the interpreter.

I would say that in today's world what GW Basic is sometimes used for is a very simple introduction to computer programming.

You can write very simple programs (GW Basic will even run onn Linux)

if you want to learn Programming Download GW Basic and try some example programs to see if it makes any sense to them.If it does then i recommend other more advanced languages,But BASIC,is well Basic...

I developed this app to Help those who wants to Learn Programming and don't know what Programming is. it's Good to Start with Basics so BASIC is basic
