Original Author: Grayda

Code

Before I reveal the product name, let me run over some features this program has


Create TRUE cross-platform programs

NO external libraries required

Coding language is EXTREMELY Similar to that of VB6

80% of commands, keywords etc. the same

Has internal socket support for HTTP, SSL, POP3, SMTP

Has easyTCP & easyUDP for n00bs to sockets

FULL online help, no MSDN CDs needed! :)

Alternating colours for Listboxes? Can be done!

EditField Control takes over RTB controls

Can load existing Active-X controls etc.

VB Project converter for your VB Apps

Integrated graphics support. No DirectX Needed. Create games & 3D Apps using included Controls

Plus HEAPS more features






I'm using the 10 day trial, which has support for Mac Classic, MacOS X and Windows apps (People with NT and 98 don't miss out!)




Here's some VB code compared to this program's code:
Public Sub DoStuff(Input as string, YourName as string, YourAge as integer)




Msgbox YourName + ' (aged ' + YourAge ' years young), you said ' + Input




End Sub




Public Sub DoStuff(Input as string, YourName as string, YourAge as integer)




Msgbox YourName + ' (aged ' + YourAge ' years young), you said ' + Input




End Sub




Notice any difference? No? Thats coz is there is none! It's almost exactly the same!




Sure, you say, this program is cool, but why should I ditch VB?




Easy! VB is no longer supported by Microsoft. RealBasic is growing all the time! And isn't Microsoft ripping you of all your cash already with windows? Spread the cash around!




So what is this program?
It's RealBasic! You can get the demo from www.realbasic.com. Believe me, I might ditch VB (sorry)and turn to RealBasic. I might even PAY to own the full copy!




Enjoy! And say 'Thankyou Grayda' for this!
