	BASIC programming language
		The original BASIC language was invented in 1964 by John George Kemeny (1926-93) and Thomas Eugene Kurtz (1928-) at Dartmouth College.
		BASIC intended to address the complexity issues of older languages with a new language designed specifically for the new class of users the time-sharing systems allowed – that is, a "simpler" user who was not as interested in speed as in simply being able to use the machine.
		Although it is somewhat difficult to consider this language to be BASIC (despite its using many familiar BASIC keywords) it has gone on to become one of the most used languages on the Windows platform, and is said to represent some 70 to 80% of all commercial development.

	Vox of Dartmouth - Back to BASICs 40 years later - 05/03/04
		It was on that day 40 years ago that two Dartmouth mathematics professors, John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz, launched their BASIC computing language with the help of many industrious undergraduates.
		BASIC (which stands for Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) went on to be the most widely used computer language in the world, according to Kurtz, bringing computer technology to general audiences.
		BASIC ran on the Dartmouth Time Sharing System (DTSS), a network of multiple simple terminals connected to a large computer, which was about a five-year-old idea at the time.

		However, the Visual Basic programming language and its close relatives, which have diverged greatly from the original BASIC, are probably the most widely distributed languages in the world today due to their inclusion in every major Microsoft Office application, so BASIC's influence continues to be strong.
		All versions of Dartmouth BASIC and its direct descendants have been compilers, as are many modern dialects.
		The false reputation for BASIC's slow performance may be tied to the GE FORTRAN compiler for that hardware which placed the startup code at the beginning of the runtime tape and the shutdown code at the end resulting in an empty FORTRAN program taking a very long time to run.

	Science Fair Projects - Dartmouth BASIC
		Dartmouth BASIC is the original version of the BASIC programming language.
		Work on the compiler and the operating system was done concurrently and so the first BASIC programs were run in batch mode as part of the development process during early 1964.
		In 1979 Kemeny and Kurtz released an ANSI BASIC compiler as the seventh and final version of BASIC at Dartmouth before leaving the college to concentrate on the further development of ANSI BASIC in the form of True BASIC.

	BASIC Summary
		BASIC began as an interpreted language, meaning that the code was run in a line-by-line manner, as it was written.
		The original BASIC language was designed in 1963 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
		Versions of Microsoft BASIC soon started appearing on other platforms under license, and millions of copies and variants were soon in use; it became one of the standard languages on the Apple II (based on the quite different 6502 MPU).

	True BASIC (Site not responding. Last check: )
		True BASIC is a fully structured variant of the BASIC programming language descended from Dartmouth BASIC – the original BASIC – invented by college professors John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz.
		When True BASIC appeared on the market, initially based on Dartmouth BASIC 7 -- otherwise known as ANSI BASIC -- it implemented a number of new features over QBASIC, and allowed the user a 16 color (redefinable), 640×480 backdrop for programming.
		True BASIC introduced new functions for graphics primitives like plot, plot area, flood, etc. It also was the first to provide a method for saving a portion of the screen and blitting it elsewhere, but had no proper buffering implementation.

	Structured programming in Basic; part 4: ANSI Basic, Macintosh Basic, and True Basic.
		John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz, then and now professors of mathematics at Dartmouth College, aided by a small group of undergraduates, planned and implemented Basic in the early 60's, when the microcomputer was undreamed of and the minicomputer was still years in the future.
		The Basic that comes built into all the millions of Apple, IBM, and Radio Shack computers is, apart from numerous special features, little different from the Dartmouth Basic of 20 years ago.
		The scope rule in ANSI Basic is very simple: a given variable name is known (1) everywhere within a program unit, and (2) nowhere outside that unless the variable is passed as a parameter to another unit.

		BASIC was created to assist the user who was not concerned with analyzing the hardware and worrying about the speed of the computer, but simply for the user who wanted to use the computer.
		BASIC (standing for Beginner’s All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was a way for students to write and execute programs on the General Electric GE255 mainframe that was the center of the Dartmouth computer system.
		BASIC was born in an age when computers were large, expensive and the exclusive province of scientists, many of whom were forced to buy research time on the nation's handful of machines.

	Dartmouth Time Sharing System
		The Dartmouth Timesharing System, or DTSS for short, was the first large-scale time-sharing system to be implemented successfully.
		Its implementation began at Dartmouth College in 1963 by a student team under the direction of John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz with the aim of providing easy access to computing facilities for all members of the college.
		These commands were often believed to be part of the Dartmouth BASIC language by users but in fact they were part of the time sharing system and were also used when preparing ALGOL or FORTRAN programs via the DTSS terminals.

		BASIC makes a distinction between a procedure which doesn't return a value (called a subroutine or SUB) and a procedure which does (called a function).
		The best known compiled versions are Microsoft's Quick BASIC product line and QBASIC, (a version which doesn't generate standalone programs.) Some versions of Visual Basic are also compiled, although Microsoft has altered Visual Basic into a language minimally compatible with even early versions of Dartmouth BASIC.

	DartmouthBiz: June 2007
		Dartmouth's network in the mid-1980s consisted of the large AppleTalk network serving both Macintosh clients and the Dartmouth TimeSharing System (AppleTalk was implemented inside DTSS) plus smaller IP networks serving Unix clients and central computers.
		Dartmouth supported several initiatives using the nascent software before the project was abandoned by its corporate sponsors.
		While Dartmouth was not the first school with Time-Sharing (MIT had built a system in 1961), Kemeny radically altered the computing landscape by 1) relying on undergraduates to help build the system, and 2) by insisting that the system aim for non-technical users.

	[No title]
		John G. Kemeny, co-inventor of the computer language BASIC and of the Dartmouth Time Sharing System (DTSS) and advocate of universal education in programming died unexpectedly on December 26, 1992.
		Kemeny and Kurtz made an effort to get as many students as possible using BASIC and they were available to hear about problems and bugs and to come up with bug fixes.
		They called it TRUE BASIC and it is still marketed today with the intention of introducing "students to the very important art of computer programming and analytic thinking." Kemeny had a very broad vision of the role computers would play in society.

	John Kemeny of Dartmouth
		Kemeny, who served as president of Dartmouth from 1970 to 1981, was a Hungarian by birth, a Princetonian by education and an esteemed mathematician.
		In addition to his contributions to Dartmouth, Kemeny worked in the theoretical division of the Los Alamos Project, was a research assistant to Albert Einstein and chaired the 12-person commission organized by President Carter to investigate the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident.
		During what was, for most American colleges and universities, a tumultuous period of student protest, Dartmouth enjoyed a period of relative calm due in large part to Kemeny's appeal to students and his practice of seeking consensus on vital college issues.
