I love me some BASIC.
FBXL.NET was a domain related to FreeBASIC for over a decade before a single subdomain showed up.
My second book is going to be a guide to FreeBASIC that mixes in computer science and computer history.
Why FreeBASIC instead of C? Because FreeBASIC in my view effectively takes C and humanizes it. You get all kinds of nice string manipulation and stuff built right in, as well as access to a a lot of C libraries, but it's also just structured like a human being might speak. It might not seem like a big deal but not having to think in codes and symbols is nice. The latest versions also include neat features like object orientation and threading, and it uses gcc to compile behind the scenes so you get all the benefits of that compiler.
