When I was 11 years old, I was about 2 years into my journey as a #Computer #Programmer, but had been limited to #QBasic, outside of the occasional dabbling with #Apple #Hypercard at school. I wanted to do more, but C was a bit too advanced for me. That christmas, my #dad surprised me with a boxed copy of Visual Basic 5.0 Enterprise edition. At the time, it was like $500. One of the greatest presents I have ever been given, I had no idea VB existed or that it was exactly what I wanted.
That's a wrap for #SCaLE22x! It was great to see so many familiar faces and have so many great conversations about #Fedora, #Kubernetes, #DevOps, #Nextcloud, #podman, #QBASIC, and other #Linux adventures!
See you all again next year if not sooner!

My 8 year old son has fallen in love with this old laptop that honestly isn’t useful for that much as the speed and wifi is so slow.
But he says he wants to learn how to code on it.
@codemonkeymike yes, I would recommend learning Racket. The Racket language is relatively lightweight compared to modern app development frameworks such as VSCode so runs nice and fast on older hardware, and it is designed specifically for teaching coding. There are some nice books aimed at kids for teaching Racket as well:
It is about as easy as learning BASIC was when I was a kid.

@codemonkeymike @rl_dane I have a copr repo for qb64! But I've also successfully ran actual #QBasic from a floppy drive in #Lutris, which I'm near certain uses DOSBox under the hood, but the important detail about that is that I didn't have to figure that out for myself.

Fun fact: The song is coded in #QBasic and is much longer than in the clip!

I have dabbled with developing video games for a while.
Whether it is making #PowerPoint games when I was 9, making #QBASIC games when I was 10, making #homebrew #SNES demos when I was 16, I've been coding for a long time.
However, I am still just a beginner. I haven't finished making a game since 2013.
I am currently developing a game for the #gba.
While I generally prefer #FreeSoftware, I still use #Windows 10, though that may change by late 2025.
Expect some #memes too.
