Program in Basic with Fuze Code Studio on Nintendo Switch

Parents, teach your kids or yourself how to program next summer. The Verge reported of the upcoming release for Fuze Code Studio from FUZE Technologies. The software will help users learn how to code in Fuze Basic without any prior coding experience. Potential students will create their own apps and can develop fast 2D-3D games using the provided libraries. Controls can either be a USB keyboard, the on-screen keyboard, or even the Joycons itself. A scheduled release date of Q2 2018 was announced and will be available on the Nintendo eShop.

Maybe next summer I'll finish up my ultimate Gorillas mod in QBasic, I started on as a child or scramble my brains trying to tackle Unreal Engine 4.

Fuze provides the most modern, innovative UCaaS platform combining voice, video, messaging and contact center within a unified desktop and mobile app experience. In 2006, co-founders Steve Kokinos and Derek Yoo started the company to change the way people work together. The vision continues to be to power every business conversation in the global enterprise. The resulting set of products and services built on a global cloud platform has enabled Fuze to transform the way organizations view communications.

Qbasic! Yes! God those were the days....

Now I am learning Ruby. Long for the days of Basic!

There's always Unity. My general go-to for things.. like proof of concept augmented reality demos I did for work.

My first programming experience was BASIC on the Atari 2600. That was back in 1921 or so, not sure, but the world was still in black and white.

I'm 100% for anything that teaches kids programming.
No political correctness. NO skin color or bias because of your sex.
It teaches logic and critical thinking as well as a purposeful use of math. Plus you are only limited by your imagination, this is why it is great for kids.
The biggest benefit is that it's a real building block to a career.

While I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiment it's not necessarily as simple as you're making it. I got into coding at an early age, way back in the dark ages of the 1970s. I was fortunate enough to get sent to a computer camp in the summer of 1979. It wasn't a simple matter of ignoring that I didn't look like anyone else in that camp, not for me or the other kids there who are 5th and 6th graders.

Fortunately I was raised by parents who got it. It's not something to dwell on but it's also something that you can't ignore either. Because eventually there will be an issue and if you ignored or dwelled on the issue you're not going to prepared to handle it wisely.

I also got a start in the late 70s, on Radio Shack Model 3, TI 99, and Atari 800. I still use Turbo Basic XL for the Atari 8 bit series nearly every week piddling around. It certainly set me on the correct path for logical thinking and basic algebraic concepts. This will probably sell me a Nintendo Switch.
