No. Q-Basic is no longer supported by it's creator and therefore should not be used. Qbasic was designed to work with the old MS-DOS or similar operating systems. Programs written in Qbasic can't take advantage of the resources available in modern operating systems. I would recommend using something like Visual Basic, VB.Net, C++, Java or one of several programming languages available today.

How can you learn qbasic?

In order to learn ANY programming language, I'm sure, the instructions are pretty much the same. Search to find...TEACH YOURSELF ROUTE-WEB SITES-VIDEOS-BOOKSGET OTHERS TO TEACH YOU ROUTE-COLLEGES-PRIVATE TUTOR-ONLINE TUTORWEB SITESSome web sites are paying/many offer FREE tutorials.One very highly popular QBASIC tutorial site is The original QBasic fansite.(See the related link)QBASIC ONLINE TUTORIALSSee the related links for various qbasic online tutorials.DOWNLOADABLE [.PDF] FILE TUTORIALS YOU CAN READ OFFLINESee the related links for two informative PDFs that you can work from.DOWNLOAD AND USE QBASIC LANGUAGE FOR FREEThrough using a search engine/tutorials; you will also be able to find links which will allow you to download/use the QBASIC language for FREE.DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTERPRETER/COMPILER QBASIC LANGUAGE VERSIONSThere are different versions of QBASIC, including:-interpreter-compilerAn interpreted QBASIC language version does NOT allow you to create stand alone programs; instead, it merely creates text based (.bas) files...where you will need to have the actual QBASIC program itself installed in order to make that program RUN/execute.A compiler QBASIC language version does allow you to create stand alone programs...which are, also, known as being called (.exe) files. These stand alone (.exe) file programs can RUN/execute even without the QBASIC programming language environment being available.DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 32BIT/64BIT QBASIC VERSIONSThe QBASIC program, also, comes in 2 different versions to suit different operating systems.For example, I used to have Windows XP on which I programmed using QBASIC Version 1.1.However, later on, when I went and upgraded my operating system to become Windows 7...which is a 64 bit operating system; then, all of a sudden, -and much to my disappointment,- I found that QBASIC Version 1.1 didn't work, anymore?!Doing some further searching...led me to discover that I now have to go and download QBASIC 64...which does work with Windows 7.VIDEOSVideos are also a very good way to learn programming; as it shows you everything on screen without you having to do any reading. I would suggest going to YouTube and typing in as the search text: Learn QBASIC Beginner; I'm sure a long list of useful 'teach yourself' videos will come up.In fact, this is an excellent way of getting to see what the programming enviornment looks like; and, also, finding out exactly how the language works; finding out both what it can do/and, can't do; by hearing other people's criticisms.-BOOKSLibraries allow you to see/feel/use/order/borrow books; and, all entirely for FREE. This is preferable to buying the book over the internet; where you don't actually get to see what type of book it is you are buying, first.After all some people prefer learning from...-shorter books/as opposed to long...200 pages/as opposed to 500 pages-large text/as opposed to small-seeing many pictures/as opposed to none-books containing purely all text-some books can include a version of the language already available to use on disk-etc.For these reasons, I would suggest you also go down to your local library/or, bookstore...just to see what kind of book(s) you would prefer learning from.ONLINE BOOK STORESWhere you can, sometimes, get to see/read through preview pages/as well as, read the books full description, including, page length/and, study reviews to see what other people thought of it; before buying anything online 'blind'.PERSONAL BOOK RECOMMENDATIONSOne of my favorite beginner books to go and learn the art of programming QBASIC from is:Qbasic: the Language of Ms-DOS by Mike James.-COLLEGESThere are many colleges which offer courses related to 'programming'.Admittedly, though, QBASIC is not usually on the menu; this is because it's an old language/as well as, a language for teaching 'beginner' programmers.Usually, colleges tend to teach more advanced languages such as...-C-C++-Java-etc.Nevertheless, please, bear in mind, that many of the programming principles are exactly the same:-sequence/selection/process-variables-operators-decisions-loops-etc.Therefore, learning any 'one' programming language; will most certainly help prepare you to go learn a next.PRIVATE TUTORBASIC being a 'beginner' programming language is therefore an extremely popular language to go and learn; with, literally, millions of BASIC coders out there in the world.BASIC, also, has a long history; as the language was originally invented in the early 60's; thus, there exists 'many' books/resources.Sometimes, you can find a friend; who has had previous experience of using some form of BASIC dialect...BASICQBASICVisual BASICVBScriptVB.NET/-etc....and, they might be willing to teach you either some/or, all that they have learned.ONLINE TUTORSometimes, if you search through QBASIC related online forums; you might be able to find an email address...or, simply, ask through a message thread...if anyone is willing to help teach you how to program using QBASIC online; possibly, through email/camcorder/-etc.


Which is the most popular programming language used for CGI programs?

What should you know before start with visual basic language?

My answer to this question would be go and learn QBASIC programming language, first; as it is the 'base' language which underlies most Microsoft BASIC related programming languages, including:- Visual BASIC VBScript/Visual BASIC Script VBA/Visual BASIC for Applications VB.NET/Visual BASIC.NET -etc. QBASIC, however, doesn't use objects to do programming with...like these other languages do; and, I personally do believe this fact makes it quicker, simpler, far more straight forwards, and, easier to learn. Then, once you've already learned the QBASIC programming fundamentals, such as:- String literals/Numeric literals Variables: String, Numeric: integer/Single/Double Variable scope: Global/Local Loops: Do/Loop, For/Next If/Then/Elseif/Else/End if Select Case/End Select Logical operators/Relational Operators/Mathematical Operators Sub/End Sub,Function/End Function Filing: Serial/Binary Graphics; Text based/Drawing based/Screenmodes/Colors Sounds -etc. Then, you can consider expanding your knowledge by moving on to go study more advanced programming languages; like those already mentioned up above. Of course, it is possible to go and learn Visual BASIC without having to go learn QBASIC, first; indeed, many VB programmers have succeeding in doing things exactly that way. But, having learned QBASIC, first, myself; and, then, next, moved on to go learn Visual BASIC; I can honestly say that QBASIC certainly paved my way...thus, making learning VB feel like being a total BREEZE...! When I look back, I realise that if I had not gone and learned QBASIC, first; then, I might have had a really difficult time with struggling to go learn VB, afterwards.


How do you adapt Sanskrit as a programming language?

You don't. A programming language and a spoken language have quite different structures; you don't use one for the other. Most programming languages are based on English, but that's usually just a few keywords, and perhaps class names, and similar stuff, that's English; the syntax of the programming language has nothing to do with English syntax.
