ABOUT
Gambas is a complete development environment for Linux. It is built on a BASIC interpreter with object oriented objects. It has a front end editor for developing the graphical code & form. It can be used both for the classic text-based programs as well as for developing desktop applications. When developing applications for the GUI, you have a choice of the Qt or GTK libraries. As for the graphics you can use OpenGL or SDL for 2D and 3D displays.
Gambas can access printers, work across networks, do compression, XML.
It can also work with audio and video (need a video card) and much more.
One feature many find useful, is how it can access different kinds of databases such as MySQL, Firebird, Sqlite, and PostgreSQL.
Below are some files to view/download. Mostly are tutorials I have written. Be sure to check out the links to the right, especially my Gambas By Example.
