  BASIC programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original BASIC language was invented in 1963 by John Kemeny (1926–1993) and Thomas Kurtz (1928–) at Dartmouth College and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
BASIC was 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.
BASIC also had the advantage that it was fairly well known to the young designers who took an interest in microcomputers at the time as a result of Kemeny and Kurtz's earlier proselytizing.

 TINY BASIC experimenter's kit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
TINY BASIC in the 6800 and 6502 was designed to be a small but powerful language for hobbyists.
TINY BASIC will accept either of the following two forms of the assignment statement and do the same thing, R=2+3 LET R=2+3 but the second form will execute much faster because it is unnecessary for the interpreter to first ascertain that it is not a REM, RUN, or RETURN statement.
Since TINY BASIC does not allow strings or arrays, the source file and the symbol table are manipulated using the USR function to call on the standard machine language subroutines to load and store bytes in memory.

TINY BASIC is designed to be I/O independent, with all input and output funneled through three jumps placed near the beginning of the program.
TINY BASIC is a subset of Dartmouth BASIC, with a few extensions to adapt it to the microcomputer environment.
TINY BASIC also makes no attempt to discover arithmetic overflow conditions, except in the case of an attempt to divide by zero (which results in an error stop).

The first profile, SVG Tiny, is defined to be suitable for cellphones; the second profile, SVG Basic, is suitable for PDAs.
The first low-level profile, SVG Tiny (SVGT) is suitable for highly restricted mobile devices; while the second profile, SVG Basic (SVGB) is targeted for higher level mobile devices.
SVGT supports the 'rotate' attribute on the 'text' element, but it should be noted that this may cause a slow down of the user agent's rendering speed, and rotation may not be supported with system fonts.
