Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code > B.A.S.I.C. > Basic.

John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz developed the first version at Dartmouth University in 1964. It was originally created to allow non technical people to run a computer because, at that time, you couldn't operate a computer without programming it first. Basic was developed to give a more simple programming structure that was close to plain English so that anyone could use a computer. It has come a very long way since then becoming a very robust language.
