Description
Welcome to Beginning Coding Using QBasic. QBasic has been used for decades to teach programing fundamentals due to its low barrier to entry and easy syntax. It is the perfect language to learn first. In this class you will learn the fundamentals that are used in all programing languages. The same logic applies across all languages and QBasic is the easiest way to learn that logic. Once you have mastered QBasic, it is easier to start learning other languages.

In this class we will learn about variables, datatypes, logic statements, loops, graphics, and much, much more. When you are finished you will have the skills you need to quickly learn any programing language. QBasic is a lot of fun to play and learn with.

This class is geared towards the beginner, no prior knowledge of programing is needed. However, it is perfect for someone who wants to review the basics, or just wants to learn the QBasic language. I created this course with homeschool students, traditional school computer labs, and hobbyists in mind, by really, anyone who wants to learn programming will fit right in.
