Here's the deal. I learned QBasic when I was 7 by reading the help file and the games that came with it back then. (IBM back in the early 90s) By the time I found out that there was a better programming language, I could not STAND to read a book. I had read around 2000 books between the age of 5 and the time I was 12, so when I found out about C/C++ and Assembly, I refused to pick up a book and when I finally did, I fell asleep reading it almost everytime, so I never made it past Chapter 3. I could read the source code and understand it, but I couldn't code it myself.

This tutorial kept my attention, explained the basics with syntaxes and other uses for it. It skipped the 'how this works on a binary level' and actually assumed that you were just there to code rather than to make a totally new programming language.

Thank you! Nice tutorial!
