Thanks guys, sounds like I am in luck!

Hi All,

I've been away for years, and never did anything with PB in the area I now need.
I need to mock-up some datalogging/comms apps with a remote microcontroller via USB.
A number of folks have used VB as their language of choice, and are so recommending it.
I'm pretty sure PB has a decent ...

1. Years and years ago I probably posted something about PB not being picked up by the Big Boys unless it did this or that. In the end, I think I was right, and wrong. Its true PB will not be picked up by the Big Boys, but that primarily due to a variety of factors which include the fact that PB is ...

Hi All,

I have a friend who needs some custom programming done that I really don't have time, or frankly the skill for. Hopefully this isn't running afoul forum TOC's.

This is going to involve writing some middle-ware that works on Excel data exported from an inventory type app, invoice creation ...

I realize this comes up every so often, wasn't aware that it had just come up.

What puzzles me though is why Fred seems averse to any attempt to improve PB's visability?
I do not think PB will ever come to compare against VB.NET. But I do think there are a ton of people who would jump at PB as an ...

Thanks, however I really want to use a main distro. I would pick ubuntu as I've used it, however I'm reading that it is not as stable as distro's like Debian, etc.

Appreciate the replies.

Hi All,

I've been doing a lot of research lately on some different languages I'm interested in, like Python, Free Pascal, Clean, etc.

Hi All,

Looking for a Linux distro to run in VirtualBox for interoperability testing.

I've played with openSUSE and Ubuntu, and they are quite nice. However a number of people I know are suggesting I look into Fedora or CentOS, as knowledge gained there will be useful add-on to current career in ...

BTW, you may just want to take a look at Python.
Its free, I believe it has a localized version, and most importantly for beginners, they can make simple windows GUI programs right from the start.

I just picked up a Python book the other day, and its very easy to pick up and go. I would expect for ...

Cool. Now if we could only get someone with a dual core similar to test under standard Windows box. Though I expect it wouldn't differ much at all.

Good through 2/11 for $5 off as well:

Just curious. Even though PB4 is an RC/Beta, might it be a good idea to consider upgrading the Screenshots page to show the new stuff? Maybe consider adding a Gallery, a la BB?

Might not be quite the time yet, but I think it would be an excellent opportunity to introduce the Public to PureBasic ...

Great, look forward to it. Happy to tip a 10, for it too.

Not really you can blame #5 for that no OOP.

But for many of us, #5 not being there is considered a plus.
You may want to look at another language, as it appears Fred is not going to go down the OOP path.

I've got nothing against that; it was the comment of "lack of support" (that
I quoted) that I was taking offense to.

OK, thats good too hear. I didn't think my comment alluded to the number of ...
