With the summer upon us for our Monday posts, I think we're going to less Visual Studio extension stuff and more game stuff and/or "oh my god, my kids are making me crazy, give me something that will keep them busy!" stuff.
To kick this off, we're revisiting Small Basic. We've mentioned it before, There's nothing small or basic about this map on becoming a "Dev" and good coder using Small Basic, yet today we're going to take a step back and give you a higher level view and a ton of links from Nonki Takahashi to get you started...

Microsoft Small Basic program language is for learning programming. If you've already understood programming, you may would like to start game programming. Today, I'd like to introduce some resources for game programming in Small Basic.

All these books are written by Philip Conrod and Lou Tylee.

What is Small Basic? (Link Removed)
Programming is Fun, again!
Microsoft Small Basic puts the "fun" back into computer programming. With a friendly development environment that is very easy to master, it eases both kids and adults into the world of programming.
Simple
Small Basic combines a friendly environment with a very simple language and a rich and engaging set of libraries to make your programs and games pop. In a matter of few lines of code, you will be well on your way to creating your very own game!
With a new and revolutionary IntelliSense®, Small Basic makes writing code a breeze.
Social
Share your programs with your friends; let them import your published programs and run them on their computer. Using the Silverlight player, you can even post your games on your blogs and websites for them to play your creations in the browser.
Gradual
Learn the programming concepts starting with the fundamentals and move your way up. Small Basic is based on .NET and what you learn here could be easily applied to other .NET programming languages like Visual Basic. And when you do graduate to Visual Basic, you can bring your existing programs with you using a built-in conversion utility.
