  9 207 7.3 Visual Basic .NET

  Small Visual Basic (sVB) is an educational programming language, created by Eng. Mohammad Hamdy as an evolved version of Microsoft Small Basic (SB). It is meant to be easier and more powerful at the same time, to introduce programming basics to kids and beginners of any age, provided that they can use the English keyboard on the Windows OS.

There's an effort at a "Visual" version of this:

Which I've been trying to determine if I should try.

For a while I thought Livecode (formerly Runtime Revolution), a rebooted HyperCard was going to be a good fit for small, graphical interface projects, but that's not looking so good since they closed the source and changed the license.

I'd really like to find something which is as straight-forward to use as Blockly, but which had a stand-along desktop app/IDE.

  SmallBASIC is a fast and easy to learn BASIC language interpreter ideal for everyday calculations, scripts and prototypes. SmallBASIC includes trigonometric, matrices and algebra functions, a built in IDE, a powerful string library, system, sound, and graphic commands along with structured programming syntax

  

Speaking of Small Basic, I found that SmallBASIC was a really fun discovery:

There are lots of examples to work from, a very functional Android app, and Linux users can use the AppImage releases to get up and running fast.

Back when I was comparing BASIC distros for scripting/programming, this one was by far my favorite for day-to-day use cases.

(BTW, does anyone know if the MS Small Basic software runs in Wine?)
