Basic programming language celebrates its 60th birthday

The first Basic interpreter went live in May 1964. This was intended to make it easier to learn programming. However, the computers to go with it were not available until much later.

Basic is the abbreviation for "Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code". In other words, it is a general-purpose programming language for beginners.
