I'd like to know why everyone is using REALbasic. There are other
tools
out there. There are other languages out there. Why REALbasic?
I switched to RB a couple of years ago, and I'm loving it. I first
started
writing software with BASIC for the TRS-80, and despite occasional
forays
into assembler and C, I'm a die-hard BASIC fan, and I've tried a
lot of them
over the years. RB is great because it's a modern object-oriented
language
that has the "look and feel" of BASIC. It does a pretty good job of
cross-platform compiling, and while it's not perfect, it does give
me access
to the various OS's API's and such when specific adaptations are
needed for
each platform without making me write my program in API's, as it were.
And for the record, I'm currently working on a *very* large
application
(about 180,000 lines of code), which is marketed globally and
competes on
various levels with programs like Filemaker and Excel.
Do we know this app?
