I jusy noticeda guy who had a sign. with this prog. language.

I went to the site and it looked nice.
It looked more RAD than Purebasic.
and more easy.
Has anyone any experoence with it?
Does it worth its money?400+euros... 8O

Just downloaded the demo.

I dunno, I think 1.41 MB is a little bloated for an app that only opens a window with a textgadget. (Especially if the same app is only 10 kb in purebasic)

well i went and checked out about 15 websites on real basic and found that in order to do anything with database u need to spend $400.00US and keep paying a yearly amount of i think 39.95 a year for updates and i also found that there was noone willing to post any speed tests for this basic besides 1 site that was doing parsing that is HD intensive not compiler or cpu intensive furthermore if you own a mac it's the compiler you want but here at PB for the 60.00 or so you get everything including LIFETIME UPDATES and RealBasic had no real info on 3d or graphics to speak of but it's your $400.00 blow it if you want to

by my opinion it sucks....

ever heard of line breaks, comma's and periods?

(before any smart alecky b*st*rd makes the remark: don't bother about me ol' lack of capitals, just a stuck keyboard, ok?

)

Well, you don't have to use the PB visual editor.

There are a couple of 3rd party vidual editors out there.

However, if you use RB, your programs will always be bloated. (Well, perhaps not always, but if a VERY simple program uses 1.41 MB, and if every gadget (control in RB) adds 100 kb, that's just not funny anymore!)

its the demo pic.As you can see very button/gadget has an actio to define what to do.
This is what im talking about.SIMPLYSITY!:] 8O

Ah, okay. I see your point.

I think I remember seeing a program for Purebasic that does that... Can't remember its name though...

For simple apps you can always use Rapid-Q... It's a lil' outdated and isn't nearly as nice as purebasic... BUT... you can program in this visual-code-per-button style... so it's VERY useful for simple projects...

NOTE: Even if you use PureBasic, you should grab this since it's FREE TO INCLUDE THE COMPILER in your programs!
Nice touch huh?

I used REALBasic for a little while a year and a half or so ago. I hated it - never could get anything to work right on OSX and it's pretty expensive too... I didn't spend a *lot* of time with it but my initial impressions were very bad.

I looked at Realbasic as well...

Only one example, true...

One that seems kind of nice (if a bit pricey) is www.runrev.com

embrance,
what you are searching is already there.
Look for my EventConnection Library in purearea.net under user-libs.

Take a look at the examples...

@fsw
I think Embrance likes the idea of having your EventConnection style programming integrated into a visual designer... I'm sure many of us would love an all-in-one solution for this method of programming in PureBasic...

Edit: Isn't the Visual Designer open source? Or am I mistaken? If so, somebody should really add in this kind of functionality... Maybe I'll have a go at it!

PureDev has this functionality already.......

See http://www.hellobasic.com

although it's not free, it's cheap and theres a demo...

I'd like to see more gadgets in the editor though !
