He was a BASIC programmer, and he knew that, in order to make Windows successful, it should be easy to develop for... so... well, that's pretty all.
Bill gates used the language BASIC for a computer programming language for Altair Basic.
Bill Gates, along with Paul Alan, developed the interpreted Altair BASIC in 1975, which evolved into Microsoft BASIC by 1976. Up until 1981, Gates reviewed every line and often rewrote portions of code produced by Microsoft, however it's not clear what other languages he helped develop during that time, if any. Microsoft C 1.0 didn't arrive until 1983 and that evolved from Lifeboat Associates Lattice C.Bill Gates didn't make any languages.
Bill Gates
It was developed from a small part developed by Alan Cooper, then he worked for Microsoft to develop that into visual basic.
Alan Cooper, the 'father' of Visual Basic, shows a drag-and-drop shell prototype called Tripod to Bill Gates. Microsoft took over Tripod. That was the beginning of Visual Basic. She combined it with BASIC. BASIC is based on FORTRAN II and ALGOL. FORTRAN II was developed by IBM. So basically Visual Basic is written in ALGOL and FORTRAN II.
No. BASIC was the brainchild of John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz in 1964. Bill Gates' contribution, along with Paul Allen, was to develop a BASIC interpreter for the MITS Altair 8800 in 1975.
That must have been around 1975
visual basic foe the Micro computer --> bye ariie:) 2011
Develop BASIC interpreter for microcomputers.Use that as an initial product for a software company and make lots of money
It was Altair Basic: an Altair emulator that would run on a mini-computer and the Basic interpreter.
There are multiple options to this answer: 1.Gee Whiz Basic 2.Gates,Williams BASIC 3.Greg Whitten BASIC 4.Graphics and Windows BASIC.
Computer programmers use the programming language, BASIC, to write programs, and code. Bill Gates taught himself BASIC when he was still in High School I believe.
