I haven't looked at, let alone touched, BASIC since the dark ages ... but
now my sister is taking a (ack! thpt! :)) REQUIRED class in BASIC at her
community college and is looking for a Mac BASIC interpreter or compiler
(makes no difference to her).
So, I'm appealing to net.wisdom: what are the pros and cons of the 3
flavors of BASIC named in the subject line >>>for use in an introductory
programming class<<<? They're the ones we can buy in local stores, and
their prices are about the same, if you're talking MS BASIC Interpreter
rather than MS BASIC Compiler, but if there's another Mac BASIC out there
that beats the pants off these three (e.g., it's shareware or freeware)
we're certainly willing to consider it.
Thanks,
Mike Khaw
