 Today in Technology History - May 1
The name BASIC stands for "Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code." It was designed by two professors at Dartmouth: Dr. John George Kemeny (1926-1992), a veteran of the Manhattan Project who later served as president of Dartmouth; and Dr. Thomas Eugene Kurtz (born 1928), a math and computer science professor.
It was designed to be used on the huge computers that were then found on college campuses and various government and military sites.
Different versions of BASIC began to crop up almost immediately -- and later, during the era of the small, personal computer, different computer companies began to produce their own customized variations.
