They dubbed their work ALGOL 30, since it was for the LGP-30 (Kurtz, 1962a, Feb., 1962b, Mar.).

 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.
Kemeny and Kurtz started working on the language in 1963; the first two BASIC programs were run at about 4 a.m.
Kemeny and Kurtz released another version of BASIC, "True BASIC," which was supposed to be a new standard to compete with all the BASIC variations that had developed in the previous two decades.
