I remember back in the good old days, I was interested in computers, and I really wanted to know how they worked and how to control them. I kept wondering how people made those creative applications I used every day on the computer. I picked up a book at the library and read it. I was thrilled and the stuff it taught me. It introduced me to something I had never known before. It was called computer programming. I learned BASIC, the easiest language I know, I read it several times, from front to back. Now I wasn't sure how to use these, or how to use them on a computer, so I wrote them down on notebook paper. I made a lot of them, my own programs, and some samples from the book I was reading. Then one day my brother told me of a program called "QBasic". When I began using it, and ran my programs, I was extremely thrilled at the moment. I used it for several years, making programs as I wished. Later, Microsoft Visual Studio came out, and I used it. I installed the Visual Basic environment. I wasn't very familiar with the layout as compared to QBasic, but it seemed a lot easier to use when I got the hang of it. I was even greater impressed that I was able to make windows and forms just like the crazy killer apps of the day. I strengthened upon this, but I eventually found some boundaries to which Basic could not go...
