ms_small_basicDeveloped by Microsoft, Small Basic is a very simple and, at the same time, open-source programming environment. It is exactly what beginners in programming, or those who don’t like getting into details, are looking for. As its name suggests, the program is very simple in terms of both its structure and the way it is used. However simple it may look, it has very functional content. In this program, which is integrated with the BASIC language in the background, you can also later move the code you write to the Microsoft Visual Basic environment to open and develop it there.
