Happy 13th Birthday PureBasic!

Been so busy that we didn't realise another year had passed by. May we have many more such years with PureBasic by our sides.

Our thanks & congratulations to the Fantaisie team.

pfffff. Thank God I'm not superstitious.

Happy Birthday PureBasic

[USCode]

for information

The first major innovation was the language of conditional or unconditional branching (goto) to more complex algorithms and better structured:

1947: Assembler invented for the purposes of war.
1956: Fortran
1959: Cobol
The recurrent use of the same test structures and control gave rise to the first structured languages​​:
1970: Pascal and Basic
1972: Language C
1979: ADA and Modula ...

Don't forget - 1958: LISP

Happy birthday PB!

Happy Birthday PB.

Seriously, aside from the Commodore 64 (and maybe Amiga to some extent), PB is the most fun I've ever had in programming.

To the complainers: look at the price of PB. And then factor in the fact you NEVER have to pay for updates. Then compare that to the supposed "pro" languages. And after you do that, write your own BASIC compiler and IDE. And finally, then stop complaining

Cheers to the whole Fantaisie team and the great ppl on this board. I hope we can have another 13 years

EDIT: Also dont forget to make a wish.

Happy Birthday PB!


Hello Danilo,

it's true; there are still many things lacking from PB.
What I think is funny is that the most used word in this forum seems to be "transparency"..
Or the phrase "How can I...?" (The answer is always "not with PB", but then RASHAD or someone else got an idea... )

But there is another thing which compares good to VB6 -> stability!

What if new things be brought into language that break things?
Or multiple paragidms; I will never forget when PHP got classes and I wondered how they would make it to switch the whole framework at once (well, they didn't...).

Maybe a compromise: a standard PB library on top of the PB included libraries.
So that all of the great "how-to-put-zindex-on-gadget" like things get a good place and are used in a standardized way; asking "how would it look like if it was belonging to PB?".

Some years ago I searched for PBOSL... it seemed to be dead... is it?

Have fun with PB!

my five programming linux + mac/cocoa beginners books arrived on Purebasics birthday lol

if Fred hadnt been so brave all those birthdays ago to add support for Linux and Apple then I never wouldve taken up the challenge either!! I'm finding it very exciting to learn
Happy birthday Purebasic, and here's to many more!!! [raises wineglass to Fred, freak and team!]

also special thank to the many kind folk here at the forum (wilbert exemplery example but there are so many!) who've gone out of their way to help newbies to these OS's like me and so many others get up on the horse so we can try to do things ourself

Birthday greets to the purebasic peeps

[said]

Happy Birthday PureBasic we love you

I have been around for about 4 years and have seen PB only getting better and stronger year on year Great job Fred, Freak and team ... working with PB is a joy, if only i can get rid of those silly anti-virus alerts that worry my clients

if only i can get rid of those silly anti-virus alerts that worry my clients

You mean if only you can get rid of those silly anti-virus signatures added by a pimply 15yo "AV analyst" who can't tell the difference between custom and library x86 code. It's not Fred's fault if some AV signatures are so poorly chosen, but you certainly should contact any AV vendor about them and get on their case how bad their signatures are and how they're risking public humiliation + legal action by wrongly detecting legit software as malware with amateurishly chosen signatures, and make it clear that's what they are. Shame them, because that's what they deserve for such poor signature choice. If they make smart professional signature decisions there is usually no problem.
