Bill Gates demonstrates Visual Basic (1991)
This is how I learned to code. Ot was excellent. Its been very hard over the course of my career to learn other non basic languages, and I attribute it largely to those help files being so good that it became my first and main language.

Had the same experience. First language I learned was VB and felt like I had to learn programming all over again when moving on.

I learned basic first, then microcontroller ASM, which made C just kinda make sense when I went to it.
