The GAMBAS Home Page

For more information on GAMBAS, it's author and the ideas behind the product, please read the introduction. Below you can see a screen shot of the Gambas IDE for Linux.

Gambas is an Open Source Rapid Application Development environment for Linux which is based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions, a bit like Visual Basic™. Note however that GAMBAS is not a VB clone and will not run VB code, it is an original Linux Application.

With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI with QT or GTK+, access MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, ODBC and SQLite databases, pilot KDE applications with DCOP, translate your program into any languages, create network applications easily, make 3D OpenGL applications, and so on.

If you've used and like visual Basic, Delphi or Kylix, Gambas is definitely the package for you. Take a look at the Getting Started page to see where to go next.
