The Initial Programming Language, is a Windows XP (or later) based product intended as an entry level programming language for use at home and in educational environments.

I have Win 98 why won't it work for me.
 
Although designed for the beginner, it can do more than you might expect.
 
As it is a fun product we have included a module called ipl.scr, this allows you to run an Initial Programming Language program as a screen saver.  ipl.scr is freely distributable, so you can write some "nifty" screen savers and give them to other people.

Unlike traditional programming languages which allow you to type whatever you want and then complain about it later, Initial Programming Language uses Dialogs for every instruction allowing you to quickly achieve results.

By launching their Express Editions Microsoft have indirectly confirmed the need for a product such as this.
 
Microsoft's VB is a great language, but it has evolved and is no longer simple for a complete beginner.
 
As there isn't much more to say, give it a go, you could be surprised by how much fun it is.
