I'm looking for advice in learning the first steps in programming in BASIC. I've copied and pasted stuff into Excel VBA and would like to take it further for work (and some pleasure), the Excel VBA for Dummies book I have is quite formidable though. Grasping functions, formulas, expressions etc. I'm using Linux mainly so platform agnostic introductions (books) are to be preferred, I quite like OpenOffice.org BASIC Macro Editor and have OOo Spreadsheet Programming book by Mark Alexander Bain. I vaguely remember playing around with QBasic in school in the 1990s but thats about it. Perhaps A-Level (UK) computing course material and books? Any help is appreciated. |

Found this site about QBasic with beginners tutorials. Just need to bridge the gap to Visual Basic. |

Here is my tutorial / intro on xbasic http://tmxxine.com/xb/ I was using XBasic many years ago with Knoppix/Debian Frankly my Linux experience was so limited I found Xbasic the only one I could get going . . . With Linux, XBasic requires a 6MB plug in for GUI programs (LOL - Puppy Developers all faint) It is VERY fast but for Puppians, Freebasic might be an option (sadly Freebasic was removed from devx as far as I know) This info is out of date . . . m m m . . . http://puppylinux.org/wikka/ProgrammingLanguages Be interested what others suggest

Gtkbasic used to be one of the main contenders for making guis like Pfind and Pburn... _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

In the Puppy package manager of 4.3.1 just noticed PuppyBasic this is based on wxbasic - MU used this a lot - so should be sample code availalble

http://wxbasic.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=5250 Might be some useful links here... better not learn BASIC if you want to write something to be included in Puppy though. _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |
