GAMBAS (Opensource Visual Basic)

Introductions:

Visual Basic is one of the most dominant programming languages throughout the decades and the favorite to all professional devoted programmers. VB6 which was considered as a third-generation event-driven programming language derived from BASIC. Lately, it was revealed that majority of the database program deployed all over the world was developed by using visual basic.Visual Basic got its throne because it had influences so many BASIC programming languages (compiler/interpreter).There are more features that VB platforms offers :uGUI,DBase ,OSX ,DLL ,Web scripting and add ons killer applications.

If we are going to review its predecessor we will find out that its origin is basic for dos to its latest versions until then enhanced to VB for dos (GUI running in Dos). Then later that development came the VB 5-6 (final version was until 1998) up to the designated successor -VB.net.

No wonder ,Gambas was inspired by VB programming ingenuity and intended to provide a similar experience for developing BASIC programs to Visual Basic. Gambas is intended to be an alternative for former Visual Basic developers who have decided to migrate to Linux or Unix like OS.

So Kudos! to VB and its migration in Linux-Gambas.

Objectives:
To be familiar with Gambas
To adapt Gambas with previous VB6 knowledge back ground
To create a simple sample program in Gambas
To use Gambas in MCU embedded support programs.

Methodology:

Detail(1) : sudo apt-get install
