Well, before B+ I was already doing B3d for some years (tho you'll never see me in those 3d forums as I was only doing 2d with it. In fact I did buy it back then, but I kinda lost my install and BUID :D In fact I don't really give a hoot about it since my forte will never be 3d anyway). Before B3d I was using the freeware B2d, and before that I was using QBasic for many years. Before that I used MSX-Basic (kinda lika GW-Basic). So if you add all Basics together I've now about 17 years of Basic experience spread over 6 Basics (MSX, QB, B2d, B3d, B+, Bmax).
Needless to say I didn't learn B+ in a few days, but I did learn the new GUI stuff in a few days.. but that GUI is really simple anyway.
My first 'real' B+ app was a small window that could load an 512x212 image with a 16-color palette. One could hoover the mouse over the image and see zoomed pixels in a corner. One could see the 16-color palette with its RGB values and one could copy/replace colors using both mousebuttons. So nothing fancy really.
