Summary

The article discusses learning 6502 assembly language and Apple II programming, with a focus on starting with BASIC to build foundational programming skills.

Definitely develop some capabilities to accomplish an elementary satisfying project in BASIC.
It's the language that was designed for you to learn about programming and a computer language at the same time.
Whether or not you actually 'master' the language or just barely learn a few commands, before using a few commands to make a simple finished program.
One approach would surely be a lot faster than the other ;)
After that then decide how much you learned about programming itself from the little project, then you can see how far that BASIC alone may be able to advance your programming ability.
