as you probably already know if you check the forum because of my last topic, I am a new izibasic user. But I have ideas already for an update, so please bear with me
I am an averagely diverse developer, I've tried a little C, I've fooled around with different languages, but mainly variations of BASIC. izibasic with vizibasic, is, without a doubt, the most powerful BASIC I have used to date on the palm. No other BASIC allows GUI, which is a great thing in izi's favor. But now that you have the greatest palm-based BASIC compiler and GUI editor, I think you need to think about ease of use. In my searches for a great language/comiler for palm, other than izibasic, SmallBASIC is the best BASIC compiler etc.. It's easy to understand, the commands are simple and elegant, and even though the forum doesn't get much activity and it all looks a little outdated SmallBASIC is up to date with the latest palm OS's and it works great. It has a built in editor, and while it can't produce stand alone apps, it can make scripts. So anyways, enough of digressing. I think you should go for a huge change in izibasic, or perhaps make a second edition so ppl don't have to change if they don't want. Make one that is as easy as SmallBASIC, but still allows GUI and everything you can do with izi. I'm sure if you try SmallBASIC you will agree it is extremely simple. Just search for it on google and you will find the homepage. Thanks for your time! |

Hello Nate,
Let me tell you a little bit more about the objectives of ViziBasic.
ViziBasic is more of a tool designed to develop:
1. prototypes of applications (showing the navigation through windows in an application) and check that navigation will be smooth and user friendly
2. quick & small applications for specialized purposes
It is by no way ment to develop all of a complex application, requiring animated images and objects, or huge algorithms to be processed... like a game. But, for instance, would you like to see how to design the best "high score" window, maybe ViziBasic is a quick tool to prototype it, and then copy & paste the resulting code to your main application's source code.
Business, finance, medical, calculator and many other types of applications usually require fixed objects in windows. Designing the windows in theses cases is very quick with ViziBasic.
I also personally use it to prototype all of my windows, and sometimes I will switch to BIRD to rebuild them as fixed resources.
ViziBasic might need further enhancements, that's for sure (all applications are usually in this case, starting with a core functionality level, people often ask for more smart functions to be added!), it is more to be understood as a complementary tool to iziBasic.
And I think that ViziBasic is quite a unique tool of its kind, because it is running directly in the Palm device!
Cheers,
aldweb
