ANyone esle here use Real Basic?

I've been using it on and off for a year or so. Pretty neat and you can compile for Linux and Mac targets if you so wish.

It is a requirement for all programmers to know basic. However no one is allowed to use it after they reach puberty.

It's a VB compatible Environment and I like it.

If this forum is going to be full of programming snobs like you I think we were better off with keeping it in with games.

I played with it back in high school (around 8 years ago), when we had a Mac exclusive lab. Was pretty comparable to VB5 when I was using it. Has it come along pretty well since then?

I never actually learned it, but then again I didn't learn how to program until college.

I believe you need some batteries for your sarcasm meter.

I have heard from some of the employees of the local International Paper mill that they have some (expensive) instruments that are controlled and monitored by programs written in BASIC. They have to use moslo pro to get it to run at the right speed though, but the language works perfectly for certain tasks.

I find Visual Basic 2005 a great programming language as well and it can do just about everything I need when I am writing a windows application, but the C# fans will probably eat me alive for glorifying it. There is nothing wrong with a programming language that allows you to write a program that does what you need quick and easily.

While I know C++, I prefer VB in nonconsole applications. (although nearly all of the console applications that I write are in C++)

But, the old console BASIC was my first language, actually wrote two adventure games in it while I was in highschool.
