  BASIC programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Programming languages of the era tended to be designed, like the machines on which they ran, for specific purposes (such as scientific formula processing or text editing).
The original BASIC language was invented in 1963 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
Notwithstanding the language's use on several minicomputers, it was the introduction of the Altair 8800 microcomputer in 1975 that truly spread BASIC.

 Applesoft BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Applesoft BASIC was the second dialect of BASIC supplied on the Apple II computer, superseding Integer BASIC.
Applesoft BASIC was supplied by Microsoft; Apple was looking for a new version of BASIC for the Apple II Plus computer with 48 KB of RAM, and after success with Altair BASIC, Microsoft was the BASIC vendor of choice.
No provision was added in the 128 KB Apple IIe and Apple IIc models' BASIC interpreters for the new machines' extra memory and double-resolution graphics, or for the Apple II 's 16-color mode.

 Apple II History Chap 16
Languages are also given the designation of being "high-level" or "low-level", depending on how close they are to the base language of the computer on which they run.
When the Integer program was run, it poked some values into memory and jumped to the start of the machine language section, which relocated the Applesoft interpreter to the lower part of memory (at $800), just after the memory that held the screen display.
When Applesoft II was started up from cassette or diskette versions, the display screen now showed a copyright date of 1978 by Apple Computer, Inc., and 1976 by Microsoft (which may be either their copyright date for the original Microsoft BASIC, or possibly for Microsoft's first 6502 version).

 BASIC programming language : BASIC
Most programming languages were too large to fit in the small memory on these machines, and with the slow disk speeds and lack of a suitable editor, a small language like BASIC was tailor made for such use.
Modern BASIC dialects have abandoned line numbers, and sport the full wealth of the control and data declaration constructs as known in other languages like Pascal or Modula-2.
The wealth of variants shows that the language is an "organic" language and that it is rather a subculture which deals with computer programming than a fixed set of syntax rules.

 Apple II family - Wikipedia
The Apple II came with a MOS Technologies 6502 microprocessor running at 1 MHz, 16 KB of RAM, a tape cassette interface and the "Integer BASIC" programming language built into the ROMs.
Users could save and retrieve programs and data on audio cassettes; other languages, games, applications and other software were available on audio cassette too.
Addition of the language card also enabled the use of UCSD Pascal, which was released for the Apple at that time.

The first BASIC programming language dialect on the Apple II computer was Integer Basic, coded and hand-assembled by Apple Computer employees.
It seems Microsoft was the Basic vendor of choice at the time; Apple licensed a 10 KB assembly language version of Basic called "Applesoft." It was similar to Basic implementations on other 6502-based computers: it used line numbers, spaces were not necessary in lines, plus it had some killer features that Integer BASIC lacked:
A string is no longer an array of characters (like in C); it's now a garbage-collected object (like in Scheme and the Java programming language).

In case you are using an object-oriented programming language, you may ask yourself...
BASIC's name, coined in classic, computer science tradition to produce a nice acronym, stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code,¹ tied to the name of an unpublished paper by the language's co-inventor, Thomas Kurtz (the name thus having no relation to C. Ogden's series "Basic English").
Modern BASIC dialects have abandoned line numbers, and support most (or all) of the structured control and data declaration constructs known in other languages like C and Pascal (note also that some advanced versions of line number-based home computer BASICs incorporated such constructs as these to good effect):

However, by the latter half of the 1980s newer computers were far more complex and included features (such as graphical user interfaces) that made BASIC less suitable for programming.
BASIC reversed in fortune once again with the introduction of Visual Basic from Microsoft.

The first Apple II came with a MOS Technologies 6502 microprocessor running at 1 MHz, 4 KB of RAM, a tape cassette interface and the "Integer BASIC" programming language built into the ROMs.
There were also emulator cards, such as the Z80 card which permitted the Apple to switch to the Z80 processor and run a multitude of programs developed under the CP/M operating system such as the database dBase II[?] and the WordStar word processing program.
Addition of the language card also enabled the use of UCSD Pascal, and a Fortran 77 compiler, which were released for the Apple at that time.
