Programming in BASIC!
Programming in BASIC!
Since 1996, Our purpose has been to bring many of the interesting and useful implementations of BASIC here to the BASIC Homepage, with reviews and discussions. Our goal is to provide useful material for those who still see BASIC as a forceful, dynamic programming language, and wish to explore its modern implementations. We have found these links below to be exceptionally good:
| Name | Brief Description |
| Liberty Basic | A code intensive system for Windows -- very good |
| Envelop VisualBasic | A Powerful Windows OOP Basic--powerful; full version, non-expiring, and FREE! Sadly, not for XP! |
| GFABasic | A leading Basic Implementation supplemented with C-like keywords |
| OBasic | O'Basic has a large user-base and is a powerful windows scripting language ... and it is now Open Source! |
| Visual Basic | This is the heavyweight from Microsoft. Huge, a steep learning curve, but the premiere Basic. Here is a limited, special free version. If this link fails to take you there, enter the URL in the browser directly! |
| MetaCard | This is a cool, BASIC-like language, that is powerful and enjoyable. A must try! |
| WinBasic | A simple, text mode interpreted BASIC that runs under windows. No GUI's, no.exes just a basic BASIC! (German) |
| XBasic | A powerful GUI Basic with C-like functions added; but it's Basic! Free download, much online documentation. |
| RapidQ | A clean free Basic implementation; much documentation, example progs, and help forums.Further development has been halted | BCX | This app translates BASIC code to C! It builds .DLL files and windows GUI! Under continuious development |
