I remember BASIC was the subject of regular derision from experts. Nothing helped me get interested in programming with such a gentle learning curve as BASIC. Where it lacked in every other area, it excelled in making programming accessible with immediate results.

Visual Basic 6 got me hooked in grade school... nothing more rewarding than being able to write a GUI app and short little games in minutes :P

I'm the speaker. I got started with GW-BASIC and one of my mantras is "learning will never hurt you."

My beliefs are getting seriously distorted in this thread.
