Default Re: Qbasic - is it anything more than an introductory language?

Unfortunately, you're probably serious about that implication. However, that's another discussion for another time. More to the point, many universities begin by teaching an object-oriented language, like Java, and continue to use it throughout the curriculum. There is not necessarily a right or wrong way to learn programming. The first language I learned was C, but I don't really see any advantage in learning that language before learning a language that has better support for object orientation.
