Basic-256 is a project to learn the basics of computer programming. [1] The project started in 2007 inspired by the article “ Why Johnny can't code ” by David Brin , which also inspired the creation of Microsoft Small Basic . [ 2 ]
Schildt has written books about DOS, [3] C, C++, C# and other computer languages. His earliest books were published around 1985 and 1986. (The book Advanced Modula-2 from 1987 says on the cover that it is his sixth book.)

Four years later, in 2004, a free and open-source project called Microsoft Mono began, providing a cross-platform compiler and runtime environment for the C# programming language. A decade later, Microsoft released Visual Studio Code (code editor), Roslyn (compiler), and the unified .NET platform (software framework), all of which support C# ...
C# is case sensitive and all C# keywords are in lower cases. Visual Basic and C# share most keywords, with the difference being that the default Visual Basic keywords are the capitalised versions of the C# keywords, e.g. Public vs public, If vs if. A few keywords have very different versions in Visual Basic and C#:
BASIC offers a learning path from learning-oriented BASICs such as Microsoft Small Basic, BASIC-256 SIMPLE and to more full-featured BASICs like Visual Basic, NET and Gambas. Microsoft Small Basic is a restricted version of Visual Basic, which is designed as "an introductory programming language for beginners". It's intentionally minimal with ...
Like Visual C#, Visual Basic also supports the Visual Studio Class designer, Forms designer, and Data designer among others. Like C#, the VB.NET compiler is also available as a part of .NET Framework, but the language services that let VB.NET projects be developed with Visual Studio, are available as a part of the latter.

This reduces repetition, especially for types with multiple generic type-parameters , and adheres more closely to the DRY principle.
