Purebasic to the front

Show & Tell
1

Found a sweet spot for Purebasic. A handy language for rapid-developing and quickly adopt to cutomers requirements. Could be Xojo, but well, for some reasons it isn’t :stuck_out_tongue:

For everything low level I use C (sometimes Freebasic). Everything on higher level (RAD, database, rest-api access etc.) is done with Purebasic. So literally Purebasic to the front. Latest example: I am playing around with BT LE and (industrial) Beacons.

Of course I could use Python or anything else supporting external C libs. But well, I am an old fart and BASIC guy and really do love small single-binaries w/o much dependencies :slight_smile:

Have a nice weekend!

I am glad you found your way in PureBasic. I like it too.

Tough I need to mention and to be absolutely clear: For everything visual e.g. any UX/UI, Purebasic is substandard. I am using GTK in external designers but do not expect this from PureBasic and its basic editor. This area is a huge field of improvements.

PB does provide a WebView

Web View controls are potential security risk, so are not suitable for every use case.

6

Fo high security usecases I would prefere using C++ with QT. Or JavaFX.

7

You can specify Qt as a PureBasic subsystem.

8

But not as secure system. No certifications available for it. End of story

Check out Skia from Google.

My personal experience is good via FlutterFlow and FireMonkey (Delphi)
