Thomas E. Kurtz, co-creator of BASIC programming language, dies at 96 At Dartmouth, long before the days of laptops and smartphones, he worked to give more students access to computers. That work helped propel generations into a new world.

The first programming language I ever learned was BASIC running on a Data General Nova computer in 1975. The co-creator of BASIC has died.
