rpgsearcherz 5 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 I am not sure what Free Basic is but I would suggest using "Visual Basic .net" that Microsoft gives away for free...I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head, but they give out the program for free on their website.Using that, since it is a more "commercial" like program, it would be much easier to find tutorials for. I know that a lot of schools have classes on how to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Microsoft recently released the SmallBasic. It came up with nearly 15 keywords so far. Expect .NET integration and other useful features in future version. But i think they'll try to keep it small, so it will be limited with functionality.SmallBasic could be a good starting point for school kids and new learners to get into programming. Later they can move to advance concepts of C/C++ programming. You can download SmallBasic from MSDN official website. One requirement for the SmallBasic is .NET 3.5 framework which you've to download first in order to install the SmallBasic. Try it and do tell me the results.

rpgsearcherz 5 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 I have never heard of smallbasic.For the record, I remembered(found) the .net I was speaking of.It is called Microsoft Visual Basic .net 2008 Express.It is 100% free and you can use it just like the commercial version(only commercial has more features when it comes to debugging and whatnot). It is perfectly fine for most normal use though, just not corporate environments.Along with this, you can get visual C++ .net, visual c# .net, and other programs from them.

Unlike what the other replies on this thread state, FreeBASIC is not simply the free version of Visual Basic distributed by Microsoft. On the contrary, FreeBASIC is an open-source BASIC compiler used for developing with traditional BASIC code. If you've worked with GW-BASIC and the later-introduced QuickBASIC, think of FreeBASIC as a successor to both.You can download the FreeBASIC compiler from http://www.freebasic.net/ . Look up the Gallery for some sample source code. You can also download the All Basic Code (ABC) snippets containing QuickBASIC code, which I believe you can get from Simtel.Regards,Nitin Reddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
