I have heard of it, because it was mentioned once or twice in some forum. It's one of those BASIC inspired languages (another two examples, Blitz and DarkBasic). Take any of my following comments with the appropriate suspicion because I have never used any such BASIC variant.

Recognize that these languages and communities are geared towards game programming. It's not that you can't do anything else with them, but those looking for a general purpose language, or perhaps more commonly, are non programmers who need to write programs for their mathematical or scientific models, or statistics, or whatever, either pick a more general programming language or another language more specific to their needs. Of course, this may suit you just fine. Even if you just want to get started with programming, making small games is fun.

There's just two things to note. First, you have to pay money. The tools to write in Liberty BASIC are not free. Contrast this with other mainstream languages. Python, C#, Java, C, C++, and countless more languages. The basic tools needed to get started with them are free. This means that you should be be investigating other languages before you throw down any cash for Liberty BASIC. Liberty BASIC's selling point is that it's simple. I think this point has been severely weakened in the past years.

The second is that the community isn't going to be enormous. Liberty BASIC is not in widespread usage. The community is centered around the official forum, and you'll find a good number of people there, but it's a good bet that's practically about it. For example, you won't get help on these forums on Liberty BASIC specifics. If you post code here, no one here will be able to help you fix it.

I've suggested beginners start with Python or C# as their first programming language. Because both are free, I think it's a wiser move to investigate both first (and other programming languages) before you spend your money.

While people could spoonfeed you, they won't. The material is findable through Google and searching. All it takes is effort on your part (and perhaps some use of your brain). I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's a resonable expectation that you do put in that effort.

Need help with broken code? Your question should be like a good bug report: (1) It has the smallest number of steps to reproduce the problem you see (2) It tells us precisely what you expected to see and (3) It tells us what you saw and how it differed from what you expected. We need all three to help you.
