This week someone referred me to this blog post about Small Basic.
What a cool idea for playing teaching beginners of kids about programming or just playing around.
You can even build Silverlight application with it and “Graduate” your Small Basic” code to Visual Basic.net / Visual Studio
You can even share your work on the site like this Tetris Game written in Small Basic.
What fun !

I’ve heard podcast’s where luminaries talk about the boundries to entry in the .NET world and programming in general. This tool ends that problem.
And as a long term developer, I love this kind of app because it simply begs me to see how far it can be bent to my will. And do it without trying to make it use other assemblies. You need a database? Then make one with an array or xml or both. Wanna have fun? Make it dynamically generate XAML for the heck of it. I would laugh my ass off if someone made a viable, LOB with it. And it could be done, too.
