I don't usually like BASIC programming languages, but TI-BASIC is a different story.

Things I like about TI-BASIC:
  1. The only thing I like about every BASIC language, the simplicity. No OOP or any of that crap to get in my way. Same reason I like C, actually.
  2. I can program with it on my calculator! That means I can program at school, or on the road.
  3. TI-BASIC is surprisingly powerful. I can do raw input, graphics, etc, and it's really simple.
  4. Instead of memorizing and typing out stupid functions, I just look in the built-in menus.
  5. It's the only programming language I have learned without looking at ANY documentation. I just browsed through the menus and experimented until I learned it.
  6. Math programs are really easy to make with it. I can make math programs for Pre-Calculus and Physics since I'm lazy.
  7. I can impress people with it! If I make a program on the computer, it's harder to impress people because they have seen computers do things 10x better than what my program can do. On the other hand, people don't expect calculators to be doing such great things.

So yeah, I like TI-BASIC.

    Ah, good times. I can remember way back in High School in my pre-calculus - we were learning Newtons Method. The idea behind the algorithm is rather simple, but since it is recursive, doing 10-15 iterations on homework was quite tedious. A loop and a few calculations later, I was the most popular kid in class, girls even talked to me _w00t

    If you know some languages like C++, Pascal and Java, you can use more other languages without documentation. This is how i learned Visual Basic.

    I'd be remembered when i learnt programming firstly. I learnt Fortran in my college, but my favorite programming language was Liberty BASIC after i got it from its website. Yes, because its simplicity!
