I learned programming on QBASIC in the 90's, aged 11 or so. My brother and I had dabbled with GW-BASIC, which a more knowledgeable friend used to draw cool-looking rainbows and whatnot on the screen. That same friend taught me the "IF... THEN..." construct and a new world opened up to me. QBASIC's built-in help manual was a key resource in getting up-to-speed.
