when you search in google "SQL select case" , you get millions of response and example .

when you search in google "purebasic select case" , you get not related answers except the link to the pb/doc website .

No resource at all

Yep because it's a niche old style language (ok, so is c, but much more wide spread and way older) with a core following. Cannot expect much else. Unless a major party starts using it as primary language for their platform whatever reason. Same with other obscure or new languages with no company backing. Btw to make it truly great it needs a few additions/improvements. But thats another topic.

Yes there are a limited resources in other side but you can ask in forum for specific problem and they are happy to help you :)

In other hand, it is not a problem for resources because there are plenty algorithms in internet writing in C and can adapt in PB, yeah remember algorithms are instructions as independent from programming language ;) And thus C is procedural as PB too so there are similar in this way ... the only missing are your imagination ! If you do well by imaginaiton and then the door open all thing fantastic to you !

Bonus ! : there is something ressource for PB check here : https://github.com/SicroAtGit/PB-CodeArchiv-Rebirth

And best of thing, don't give up so go ahead if you love PB !

Happy coding !
