You "just finished learned the programming language called BASIC"?

Let me lay some enlightenment on you; nobody is finished learning ANY language. Even after programming for over 15 years I still refer to the language reference for assistance.

If you want to make DS applications, you need to learn how the DS interprets code, teach yourself C (or C++), learn how to read in Assembly, and then try again in a year or two.

If you really want to get some executable code running, look into DragonBASIC. It's an implementation of BASIC on the GBA, though it's not nearly as powerful as C or ASM would be. Of course you wouldn't be able to run your programs from a slot-1 device, but at least you'd get some indication that your programming worked. Download the tutorials and work through them to get a basic idea of how to use it.

There's DSBASIC.
 
Forgot about DSBASIC, yes. However, it was my understanding that DSBASIC was rather limited in the amount of DS-specific stuff you could do, while DragonBASIC has you controlling a good portion of the GBA hardware directly.
