If you are considering making Basic your first programming language, you should wonder if the Basic language is a dead end. Can you actually use it after you have finished learning it? Besides the Microsoft offerings (1) Visual Basic .NET, (2) Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and (3) VBScript, there are other professional releases of Basic.
Power Basic is a professional release of Basic that is well thought of. There is also Liberty Basic.
Basic is not a dead end language. It has a lot of commercial support. It has a natural syntax that makes it easier to learn. Furthermore, the natural syntax of Basic can be adapted into pseudocode for use in software design documents.
