With upcoming Netbeans 6, VS will pale in comparison. Even Eclipse is a great IDE for that matter.Chandruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06766185414588126442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103054691966508148.post-82483704673637831242007-11-28T03:25:00.000-08:002007-11-28T03:25:00.000-08:00There are several problems with the results mentio...There are several problems with the results mentioned. Yes, Kdevelop and Gambas work on Linux but compile to purely linux code. In my follow up post on Google Basic (GB) you will see that I am referring to a cross platform app running on a multi-platform (.net or java type) runtime. The java runtime is already open source, available in almost every flavor but there is no IDE to compare to the simplicity of VB. Also the Java language is difficult for beginners to learn.<BR/><BR/>The better solution would be to develop a new VB or Google Basic (GB) language that would compile to the java runtime like multiple flavors of Visual Studio compile to one .net runtime. Google could even have their development suite online to facilitate project sharing and developing anywhere.<BR/><BR/>If Google is truly going to get deep into the corporate IT shop, they will need a way to help them develop quick, cheap and cross platform apps. This is the bottom line. There is nothing out there with Google's brand on it for them to shop to the IT guys (and for the private developer).KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14376641033567416220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103054691966508148.post-38470734920924514482007-11-28T01:31:00.000-08:002007-11-28T01:31:00.000-08:00It seems Gambas (http://gambas.sourceforge.net/) i...It seems Gambas (http://gambas.sourceforge.net/) is just what you need. Don't think that VB was actually compiled (although to be honest I'm not sure about the most recent version), it was a bytecode program with some startup code that launched the interpreter hidden in some rather large DLL you had to distribute along with your program. IMHO, VB had a horrible syntax with lots of strange idiosyncronacies. Not really OO too (although it pretended to be).The Beez'https://www.blogger.com/profile/14718864828133872589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103054691966508148.post-45208574519052461902007-11-28T01:16:00.000-08:002007-11-28T01:16:00.000-08:00Aren't you familiar with KDevelop?

KDevelop has the same functionality as Visual Studio, support many languages, and in C++ mode is very good.<BR/><BR/>We have developers that have worked with VS for years that have simply moved to KDevelop.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885908641377438927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103054691966508148.post-31293596540136728812007-11-27T20:47:00.000-08:002007-11-27T20:47:00.000-08:00There are easy-to-use, develop-an-app-in-minutes I...There are easy-to-use, develop-an-app-in-minutes IDEs made by Borland, -err Inprise, -err CodeGear.
