I've happily been a member of the Just Basic community for nearly three years.I've been programming in several versions of BASIC for thirty years.Just Basic allows you to create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) with the look and feel of commercial programs written for Windows... but it's much easier.All the programming techniques like IF/THEN/ELSE..., SELECT CASE, string and numerical arrays, DATA, FILE INPUT/OUTPUT, and Graphics are there, in very familiar syntax.
The best feature is (aside from the fact Just Basic is FREE!) the online support community of more than 2,000 members at all levels of experience.Share your programs or seek help developing them.
