You're welcome, Saeid and Teodora. I think Small Basic is truly impressive. It was designed all the way through to be incredibly simple and easy to use, but to also be great for teaching and gradually developing new learners (including kids), and also to be fun and interesting in the process! - Anonymous

Andy, yeah, I think it's pretty clever. You can even see his UI toolbar he built above his picture! - Anonymous
