**Celebrating a Milestone in Computing History: The Birth of a Revolutionary Programming Language**

On March 18, 1965, a significant event unfolded that would shape the future of software development and computer science as we know it today. The Computer Science Department at Dartmouth College successfully ran the first program using the BASIC programming language. BASIC, which stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, was designed to be an easy-to-understand programming language that democratized access to computer programming for students and hobbyists.

This revolutionary event marked a turning point in making computing more accessible and was pivotal in the field of computer science education. For students in India pursuing computer science and engineering, understanding the impact of BASIC is crucial as it laid the groundwork for many modern programming languages and tools used today.

Let’s celebrate this milestone and reflect on how far we've come in the realm of coding and software development!
