At present the Apple II University in the A2Pro forum on the Delphi
online service, is coming up on lesson nine of Learn to Program in
GSoft BASIC.  The course is actually a book published by the Byte
Works that is a self-paced way to learn how to program using GSoft
BASIC, another Byte Works product.  We have a weekly chat that is
hosted by the creator of GSoft, Mike Westerfield, to discuss any
questions that people might have about programming in GSoft.  These
chats take place Monday nights between 9 and 11 pm eastern.  The A2Pro
URL below has a link to the A2Pro forum's chat rooms.

GSoft BASIC is the best BASIC programming language available for the
IIgs, in my opinion.  It is a commercial product but there is a free
version available for download that allows you to try it out.

And if we're really lucky, we'll also get the Toolbox Programming in
GSoft BASIC course in the not too distant future.  This course will
teach you how to write IIgs desktop applications and such using GSoft
BASIC.

The Byte Works also has the largest collection of programming related
software and books for the Apple II that I am aware of.
