Description
Both QBasic and QuickBasic serve as accessible programming languages suitable for novices, originating from the DOS operating system yet also functioning on Windows platforms. QBasic is essentially a streamlined version of QuickBasic, but it comes with notable limitations such as the absence of a compiler, which prevents it from generating executable files (.exe). Users can only run source code files, typically with a .bas extension, through the integrated QBasic interpreter. In contrast, QuickBasic offers a broader range of commands compared to its simpler counterpart. For those embarking on their programming journey, starting with a lightweight language and a straightforward compiler can be especially beneficial. QBasic (often abbreviated as QB) presents distinct advantages for both beginners and experienced developers that are not found in other compilers. During the era when DOS dominated the operating system landscape, the QB IDE was immensely popular among programmers. Nowadays, to run QBasic or QuickBasic on modern Windows systems, a DOS emulator like DOSBox is necessary for compatibility. This requirement serves as a reminder of how far technology has progressed since the days of DOS. Additionally, the simplicity of QBasic allows learners to grasp fundamental programming concepts without feeling overwhelmed.
Description
In 1992, we embarked on developing software for Liberty Township, Ohio, utilizing a DOS platform crafted in QuickBasic and relying on the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet for mapping functionalities. The initial agreement came with a significant challenge, as we were also contracted to transcribe records from an ancient, deteriorating book with faded ink, a task that was far from simple and gave us firsthand experience with the difficulties of record entry. With no advertising budget and a limited internet presence, our software's reputation grew organically through word of mouth, leading to a steady increase in users. While I can't provide an exact figure, it's estimated that several hundred cemeteries have adopted our desktop and online solutions. Serving smaller churches and county cemeteries has meant our growth has remained modest, as we didn't seek high-volume sales or widespread advertising. To this day, our expansion continues primarily through personal recommendations and organic search engine traffic.
