Hi everybody.
I spent 3 years to get sVB so far: Half a year to make small Basic videos and discover its downsides, 2 years to create Small Visual Basic and evolve it, and half a year to write its full reference book.
SVB has the best of SB, VB6, VB.NET), VS IDE, and even some WPF features, as explained in the provided links.
sVB can be easily introduced to kids, but it has more advanced stages to keep the beginner learning more, until he is ready to move on to VB .NET.
I did all this work alone, but now sVB needs all the support it can get to reach kids and beginner. It is a huge evolution for SB, and a very attractive entry point for MS Dot Net platform, so, I think it worths to be mentioned in the Small Basic website and docs, and promoted to old SB students who stopped at that point and never learned any other programming language. I met some of them who are scared of VS and VB .NET , but seem interested in sVB.
Finally, I have suggested all those improvement in SB repo, but no one cared, and this is why I decided to carry on.
So please, make use of this hard work. After all, it promotes MS products, after many kids today have been attracted to Python.
Thanks:
