4.0 out of 5 stars (somewhat) Catching up to Visual Basic......, December 27, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: REALbasic Professional Edition 4.5 (CD-ROM)

REALBasic is great Programming software, so at least some projects. If you are working on a project that requires you to compile the application for Windows, Mac and Linux, this is the Programming Software to use. I enjoy REALBasic because of the compiling feature I stated above, the small compiled file it produces (that even does not even require a runtime!) and the power that it holds. However, for some projects, Visual Basic is the way to go.

This is very good software. The User Manuals leave a little to be desired. Having previous programming experience is a must to use this software effectively. It will still require some major digging into other reference books.

To call it a basic at all is to misname it.
I , now, use it everyday
and I can tell you it is a language one loves to hate.
The hardest thing is to figure what is "global" and what is local.
Or how to get it to recognize it's own [stuff]...or add new stuff that isn't "standard".
I can tell you that it is the only language that has made me afraid to try something becauce of how bad it crashes my machine.
It has made me feel sorry for my poor Mac
who I now call betsy.
Yes, it is a very powerful language, but
the books on it are inadiquate and very badly written.
But it appears to be the future of programming in that it
can when used right , do things that
are impossible in True Basic even for a long time
programmer.
