About Nonki: I am an amateur programmer.  I used to program with one of BASIC language on an 8-bit micro computer when I was a college student.  In 2010, I started to program with Microsoft Small Basic.  And I'm interested in making Go program and conveying the fun of programming.

Here are the judges remarks:

 

Guru Award  Small Basic Technical Guru - July 2013  

Gold Award Winner

 

Nonki Takahashi Small Basic: Shapes Editor RZ: "This is an amazing program. Nonki deserves to be the winner!" Peter Laker: "There can only be one... :D" Ed Price: "I can't get over how Nonki made an application that's basically better than Paint. And this article really complements the application. As Jibba Jabba says in the comments: "This is amazing, Nonki. Really informative sample.""

 

A shame we only had one entry for Small Basic for July. Let's hope we can drum up some more interest from the SB community for August! However, it was still a fantastic article and deserved to win!
