PureBasic is a Great Programming Language with Limited Resources
PureBasic is a Great Programming Language with Limited Resources
PureBasic by Gary Willoughby, was the best eBook I ever read! ... Then, that's all.
I searched for similar Book or a Training Courses, but unfortunately, I found nothing, just randomly spreader code snapshots, here and there, no more.
While PureBasic is famous & held strong since about 2 decades, unfortunately I couldn't find 'another eBook', or Training Course on Lynda or Udemy as the case with any other 'less level' programming language!
I'm just wondering why?
I really feel so sad, that such great tool has a very limited training resources!

Re: PureBasic is a Greate Programming Language with Limited Resources
I wouldn't say there are limited resources, the PB community is probably the best resource one could ever wish for or need.
All you have to do is try and ask. I can't think of a single instance where I haven't received help to any given problem and I've learned a great deal from the community. I still look at the sources and examples folders every now and then.
What topic do you want to learn about?

This forum is +10000000000 better than all the books combined
Re: PureBasic is a Greate Programming Language with Limited Resources
I fully agree that this forum is truly helpful & the community/members are mostly cooperative, but this wasn't the point!
Re: PureBasic is a Greate Programming Language with Limited Resources
Yes I got that but my question was, what Topic do you want to learn about?
Is it basic CS like data structures algorithms or 2D / 3D graphics... or where you just stating that it's a shame purebasic isn't represented more widely.
Re: PureBasic is a Greate Programming Language with Limited Resources
PureBasic is already Famous & a "Great Programming Language" as I mentioned before.
I saw a lot of "eBooks" & "Training Courses" for other Programming Languages, that are below the level & power of PureBasic!
After "Gary Willoughby" eBook, I spent months searching for another Training resource on the form of eBooks or Online Training Courses, but unfortunately nothing.
The matter is not about "what's the topic I need to learn" or "Go & search this great form".
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!

very nice PureBasic Tutorials on this YouTube Link :The matter is not about "what's the topic I need to learn" or "Go & search this great form".
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!

there are more PureBasic examples on YouTube ,
however, this Forum has tremendous Info + example Codes
you just need to do extensive searching + save + organize Source Codes into their various Gadgets and purpose
PureBasic .... making tiny electrons do what you want !

Re: PureBasic is a Great Programming Language with Limited Resources
the point of tutorials is to get you started, above links provide more than enought
after the first "boost" , theoretically you continue by your self, reading PureBasic's own manual for declarations
AFter, as pointed out, if you a SPECIFIC query to a SPECIFIC point, you need active users ,up to date, where more or less this is practically only here in Forum )

Re: PureBasic is a Great Programming Language with Limited Resources
Because nobody needs it.I'm just wondering why?
- It's Basic, so it's easy. Anyone who's ever used another Basic just looks at the differences in the doc.
- The team is very small, and maintains the documentation very well, with a working example for each function.
- Most PB users are long-time programmers in all kinds of languages, so they only consult the reference documentation.
- Several attempts were made, almost all of which were abandoned before completion. Writing a (e)book is a lot of work, so you either many need time or you need to make a profession out of it (which means finding customers willing to pay).

And then, a book is "static" while the language evolves...

limited resource means it is not popular , and mildly accepted , so no one of the third-party care to teach / write something article , tutorial about it ,Maya wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 9:18 pm PureBasic by Gary Willoughby, was the best eBook I ever read! ... Then, that's all.

but it is powerful and fun to use , so it has some hard core programmers/users who still user it occasionally .
If you look at C , there is whole world of planet is using it , you get floored resource on the earth , and many expect library was created in C.
just like between Africa miracle fruit VS Orange fruit , which has more side product and article resource ?
pure basic come to a path that some how has not popular itself by any effort , it only care to make more library to satisfy the hard-core fans to add features , but not care about it's own unique syntax and compiler evolution , this is the base asset , leave the library to other peoples.
you see how C evolve and developed : C89 , C99 , C11 , C17 ...
Re: PureBasic is a Great Programming Language with Limited Resources
language evolves is not about the many many more more external 'library' make build in, this is not what founder to do , look at C , founder to evolves the syntax and compiler output and bugs and structure , data types , macro...
all the C library are make by programmers all around the world , that's all .
go tot the right point.
Re: PureBasic is a Great Programming Language with Limited Resources
if you search "C linkedlist implement" in google , you get millions of answers from all around the world that explain, teach and tutorial on what and how to do it.
unfortunately , you couldn't get any related links for "purebasic linkedlist implementation" . no resource at all .
and who was teaching this in the great forum ? no one
