What is Gambas ?Gambas is a programming language for Linux which attempts to mimic the ease of use of Visual Basic while improving on its functionality. Although Gambas is not source code compatible with Visual Basic, it is a BASIC Interpreter with object-oriented extensions. This makes Gambas a good choice for Linux users who want to use their VB knowledge on a GNU basis.
Gambas makes it very easy to build Linux GUI programs (the Gambas IDE is written in Gambas itself.) using the Qt toolkit. There is a Windows version of Gambas which barely runs under the Cygwin environment. Graphical applications do not yet work under the Windows version.
Developed in Paris by Benoît Minisini since 1999, Gambas is released under the GNU General Public Licence, the current version (February 17th 2005) being 1.0.3. Gambas is included in the Linux Professional Distribution 9.2 from Novell.
'Gambas' is an acronym for Gambas almost means basic (Gambas is also the Spanish word for shrimp.)
# You can now build solutions for any environment using "graphical application" When you start a new project. This mode takes care of which Desktop environment the end user is going to use, and the program will automatically adapt to Gnome, KDE, etc depending on the Current running Desktop environment
# build KDE applications with DCOP
# translate your programs into other languages
# offer Visual Basic programs under Linux
# build network solutions
# use databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL
