PureBasic Forums - English

Ok, Fred edited my early post but it was not fair.

Kuron (if he is who I think he is) is the one who contacted Fred about me. I have been long time third party developer of tools for Powerbasic programmers.

Likely many know the trouble PowerBasic is in, so Kuron likely felt he was doing me a favor ...

The disrespect shown on these forums is why I do not have any desire to develop for Purebasic. I respect the right to disagree, but the tone of the comments borders on meanness simply put.

While the more negative voices love to be vocal, you may be surprised that some have PM'ed me already telling ...

Forget it !

Fred, sorry to bother you all here and please delete my account. Purebasic appears to have all it needs for future development here, at least in the words of the more vocal posters.

The Powerbasic Third Party developers obviously are not needed here. At least not my company.

The ...

It is easy for some to just think, "why not just switch languages and simply move to this one and get over it". It is not that easy. I have nearly 60,000 lines of code which would have to be ported over to Purebasic and that is the GUI engine alone. It also only targets Windows and there is a big ...

Fred, I apologize for intruding on your community here.

Please feel free to delete this thread.

My explanations I posted obviously have been misread by some. I was foolish to think I had anything to offer here.

Oh, to the person who commented about my product being a $250 Visual Designer, it is ...

I have been serving the PowerBasic community for nearly 14 years now, but for obvious reasons want to examine the possibility of supporting other Basic languages.

My company has a lot to offer, with many years of experience, but if there is no real interest here, I might as well just move on and ...

Maybe some videos may be helpful. They are not as extensive as I would like and I though a few together , but maybe they may give a slightly better and more visual picture of what my GUi engine can do.

This video demonstrates some ...

Why not simply start with 32 bit Windows, the largest platform.

If it proves successful, then there is reason to work on porting to PureBasic for cross platform.

I should point out, that a complex drag and drop engine is not easy to develop and I have spent years improving mine taking advantage of ...

I would like to make an offer to Fred.

Would you like some free advertising ?

Over the years I have written a number of articles for Code Project, Betanews.com and techrepublic.com. I also currently have a Blog which gets a bit of attention as well.

How would you like to do an interview for my ...

Thank you for the link to the poll about PureBasic users !

Developing for Windows compared to Linux 3 to 1

Developing for Windows compared to Mac OS 7 to 1

What was that about Windows not being so important and how other platforms are superior ?

Even a poll done among users shows Windows ...

Please enlighten me. There are plenty of PureBasic users on these forums.

What kind of software are you writing for business and industry ?

I would love to see some examples of software being used by major companies ?

I really want to know !

Anybody using PureBasic to write commercial grade ...

The backtrack that Microsoft is currently making with Windows 8.1 is a direct result of them realizing where their "bread and butter" comes from. Not from consumers, but from the enterprise.

Few realize how immersed the world is with Windows. Add to that embedded Windows and it is a huge platform ...

I have to respectively disagree with my friend her about some aspects of PowerBasic.

The use of OLE strings was ingenious (VB uses it internally, but just not for calls to DLLs). It allowed the language to have one of the most powerful string engines in the software industry.

You have to ...

You are the beginner here, the guy that has no clue about cross-platform programming.

Don't be so quick to put me in the newbie catagory. I may be new to PureBasic, but I have been programming long before some of the members on this forum may have been born and all with Basic.

Now Basic has ...

Danilo,

I did not think I deserved a free license. I was only in the process of checking out PureBasic when one of my customers who also is a PureBasic user contacted Fred and mentioned I may start some PureBasic addon development and Fred offered the free license as long as I develop stuff for ...
