Happy 60th Birthday to BASIC
Just a few days ago, BASIC turned 60! On May 1, 1964 BASIC was created by Dartmouth College professors John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz.
BASIC is an acronym for Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. Since the Goto 10 newsletter is named after a BASIC command, it seems appropriate to recognize this anniversary here.
