PureBasic Forums - English

Can someone name a product or company that uses it? I also want to know how Microsoft uses PureBasic.

I've used it on some contracts where source was small and didn't need collaboration. Usually using tools where each dev has to buy a license, especially one over one-hundred USD, has negative results, especially when the employer/owner goes to create management and support around it..

That is not really any of your business. Most people using PB in such situations are under NDAs, anyway, and can't disclose this.

If you want to know what Microsoft does, ask Microsoft.

The price is NOT a negative for any legitimate company, as the price is a legitimate business expense and therefore tax deductible as a business expense.

I think you pretty much answered our questions.. next

Perhaps you should actually try using PB. If you did, you would be well aware of what it could be used for in a company and wouldn't need to resort to trolling.

I can't detail specifics, but over the years I have used PB for contract work for a couple of major non-profit organizations and a major defense contractor, and numerous smaller companies/organizations.

Given some of the stuff I have privately alpha and beta tested for other PB users over the years, there are a LOT of people using PB for commercial work. PB is a secret weapon for many people.

Sshhhhh...

Same here, did quite a few of contract works for small to medium sized company in France using PB.

We are a company using PureBasic for many products. We create our Windows, Linux and Mac client software and the SDK's using PureBasic (http://www.regify.com).

Of course, we do not only use PureBasic. The server side stuff is all LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP). But all client software (Win/Lin/Mac) is done using PureBasic. We are using GIT for code versioning and doing automatic builds of Linux and Windows (using Cygwin/make). We are also using ZLIB, libcurl, crypto++ and Debenu QuickPDF libraries in our PB based products.

Seems interesting. How many developers do you have?

Side Note: I also use GIT and integrated it into the IDE. I use portable repos that sync over TLS FTP to a central server.

Hi,

We are only 4 developers (including me) but only I and another one are using PureBasic extensively. Others doing PHP/JavaScript mainly and we are also doing .NET (for the Outlook AddIn), Java for Android and Objective-C for iOS etc. We are all developers with a wide spectrum of skills. Otherwise we would not have any chance to support so many platforms. In addition, we also have a small QA team in Romania. They test all that stuff reporting it to some internal bugzilla system.

We also sync to a centralized server using SSH with certificates. I personally prefer TortoiseGIT as environment on my Windows machine, but on Linux and Mac we use it from the comandline.

I'm a very small company (if it is raining, I take it inside)
only me who is programming,
and I invested all my money in a CAD/CAM/CNC program.
All written (and lots of rewriting) in PB.
Lots of work to upgrade my program for every upgrade of PB 4.31 ... 5.22
especially in the drawing section 2D/3D stuff.
