qbasic
Outdated version of the BASIC programming language which came packaged with Windows version 3.1.
The language provided an easy way to create graphics, though limited to 4-bit colors and 640 by 480 resolution.
Although the "Q" stood for "quick" the only thing quick thing about QBASIC was the time to program. The language was interpreted, rather than compiled, severely retarding program execution speed.
The language is still adequate for novice programmers. However, learners who master the basics of QBASICS should graduate to Visual Basic, a much more flexible and faster language that inherited much of QBASIC's syntax.

"I've learned to program graphics with QBASIC but, finding the language too limited, made the easy transition to Visual Basic."

Usually the highest level of math taught at high schools. Must be taken by those considering to major in engineering, math or physics.
Otherwise, should still be taken to make transcript look better.
