* '''[[Microsoft Small Basic]]''' is a restricted version of [[Visual Basic (classic)|Visual Basic]], which is designed as "an introductory programming language for beginners". It's intentionally minimal with just 15 keywords for basic functionality. By providing specific libraries for topics that interest children, they can create programs for both the web and [[Desktop computer|desktop]] environments. For example, with 6 lines of code, it is possible to demonstrate a random network image viewer using [[Flickr]] as the source.<ref>Microsoft corporation 2009 [http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/0/6/90616372-C4BF-4628-BC82-BD709635220D/Introducing%20Small%20Basic.pdf Getting Started Guide for Small Basic], p. 64.</ref> The system utilizes the [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] IDE to provide [[IntelliSense|auto-completion]] and [[Tooltip|context-sensitive help]].

* '''[[Basic-256]]''' is an easy-to-use version of BASIC designed to teach anybody the basics of computer programming. It uses traditional BASIC control structures ([[gosub]], [[for loop]]s, [[goto]]) for easy understanding of program flow control. It has a built-in [[graphics]] mode that allows children to draw pictures on the screen after minutes.

* [[Simple Mail Transfer ProtocolSiMPLE|'''SiMPLE''']] is a programming development system that was created to provide easy programming abilities for everybody, especially non-professionals. It is somewhat like [[Applesoft BASIC|AppleSoft BASIC]]. It is compiled and lets users make their own libraries of often-used functions. "Simple" is a generic term for three slightly different versions of the language: Micro-SIMPLE (uses only 4 keywords), Pro-SiMPLE, and Ultra-SiMPLE (using 23 keywords).

* '''[[Hot Soup Processor]]''' is a BASIC-derived language used in Japanese schools.

* '''[[TI-BASIC]]''' is a simple BASIC-like language implemented in [[Texas Instruments]] [[graphing calculator]]s, often serving as a student's first look at programming.
