Hello As we use many Small Basic, Microsoft will continue with the product. It depends on us. Here in Argentina is promoted much C # and VB.NET then Hopefully from this official blog will spread much more, this excellent language for beginners regardsAnonymous

Thank you, Carlos! Please email me if you haven't. It would be great to get more Spanish articles about Small Basic up on TechNet Wiki so that the community can maintain them and add to them. social.technet.microsoft.com/.../default.aspx I don't think we have any Spanish articles up on Small Basic yet. Currently just English and Japanese, I think. Thanks!Anonymous

It looks like the sample chapter actually a "chapter of code samples"? We'd love to see actual book-writing too, but the website that sells it (computerscienceforkids.com) doesn't work.Anonymous

Rob, The third book is based on a classic of code samples. But really I need to update the links. Okay, I updated the links for the Developer's Reference Guide: social.technet.microsoft.com/.../16767.the-developers-reference-guide-to-small-basic.aspxAnonymous

I sincerely apologize for the ComputerScienceForKids.com website problem. Our Domain provider's renewal process was a little challenging for a few days but the website is back online now. Enjoy!Anonymous

Yes, CodeWizard1, I added your quote to the Testimony page. I think it's possible to do a game like that. You can play around with some of the extensions and see what you come up with. If it's too challenging, you can build a team to help. Thanks!Anonymous

I might do that. But right now I have like 20 ideas floating around in my mind right now. But i'll get to it. P.S. Where's the Testimony page? Thanks!Anonymous

Tim/CodeWizard, I added the sentence to your testimony: "Before I learned Small Basic, I NEVER understood anything about programming. And that all changed one day when I stumbled upon this site." Here: blogs.msdn.com/.../small-basic-elementary-student-testimonials.aspx Thanks!
