It takes a village to raise a competent programmer. To be honest, most developers are not educators and it takes a monumental effort to write or make video tutorials with the mindset of a beginner, especially smaller companies that are one-man shows or only a few developers. Of course, one can totally bypass the need for a console app by using the internal IDE debugger for interactive feedback. See here what it would look like to produce a similar console application in B4X. A simple input/output console-only program in QB64 would require only a few lines of code and will work in other variations of BASIC such as Liberty Basic, BBC with slight tweaks. So an interactive console-only application is not quite as interactive as say running a similar program in other languages. Knowledge of using the command line to run a JAR file is necessary as well to run console-only programs. The syntax can get quite complex compared to some other languages when creating console-only programs. Also since B4X is a wrapper for Java, it may take some knowledge of Java to learn B4X - for example when creating a console-only application. Some Programming Experience may be needed The getting started and basic language guides appear to assume some prior programming knowledge which may confuse the beginner programmer.
