You are welcome

Hi my name is Fabien Bodard. I'm happy to found a new place to share some knowledge.

I hope Gambas one day will be known less as an exotic language and more as a common one.

Time will say us ...
:-P

Hi, everyone!
I am José Monteiro, from Brazil. Gambas helped me so much, so I will try to do my best to retribute.

Greetings everyone,

I discovered this forum this morning and joined immediately. IMHO we really, really need a resource such as this for Gambas.

I spend much of my programming day in Ruby, but became intrigued by Gambas as a language that is simple, yet very elegant. The biggest benefit of Gambas is the comparative ease of creating those much needed little apps to scratch your own itch, compared to any other development platform on Linux that I have experience of.

Within days, I had half-a-dozen little programs that I still use daily. I intend uploading them to GitHub as soon as I sanitise and polish the code a little in order to remove the signs of my own inexperience in Gambas. I am learning rapidly though.

Most of the work I intend to do with Gambas in future will be in-house back-end interfaces to databases that drive websites. Gambas appears to be highly capable of being a front-end interface for databases that can be developed rapidly.

I have plodded along with some frustrations at the lack of documentation and the dearth of step-by-step walk-throughs in using components such as gb.settings. Let's hope I can learn and help others in the process.

Many decades ago, I learned to program in BASIC using a Sinclair ZX81. Ever since the advent of Turbo Pascal 2.0, I pulled up my nose at BASIC. Gambas has now changed that forever, but just don't think Gambas is basic, it is extremely powerful.
