Gambas Reviews

Projet fantastique que j'ai découvert tout à son début. Ingénieur retraité, j'ai redecouvert la dernière version à 75 ans (avec hélas quelques faiblesses et Bogues) ... Je dis un grand Bravo et Merci à l'auteur Benoît M . J'espe que ce projet trouvera de nombreux adeptes. A ceux interessés par la programmation sous linux, je recommande vivement d'essayer cet IDE peu connu.

I've been using Gambas to write wrappers for small scripts where a GUI would be nice. It's super easy, mostly reliable and what VB6 would have been had it still been supported and made a true OOP language. The thing I love the most about it is it just seems to make sense. Everytime I code something and say to myself, "well I think it should work this way".... It just does. So intuitive. After writing an application for our 70" touchscreen display that tracks our maintenance items, I was finally compelled to donate to this most excellent project. After all, we use the app. everyday. The guilt was too much. :-)

It will become an excellent IDE if it can be connected to the Roslyn code analyzer to edit VB.net codes and develop GTK# applications.

This is an outstanding BASIC IDE. The GUI builder is exceptional and allows easy porting of visual basic programs with only a small learning curve, Only drawback is it does not have the extensice support network of vb.net but it is faster, easier and more sable than vb.net. I wish there was speech recognition and epssch synthesis support too...

I find this really good is a lot quicker than visual basics and yeah its not the same but it is very similar. The only problem I find is trying to find codes, I know there's good examples but of course they don't cover everything. Like I was trying to find code to get stock quotes but I couldn't find anything through my Internet searches hopefully one day some one will do like gambas version of www.vbcode.com which may make it a lot easier to find codes

I love how simple it is to make and deploy small apps with Gambas. Highly recommended for anyone who's new to development!

Nice rapid development environment. Used to code a ton of vb when I used windows years ago and have been looking for a way to get back into coding for my desktop in Linux. Easy to get started and decent documentation and examples. So far everything I have looked for is there.

It is really good!

Fantastic! Wrote a lot of VBA-Code over 15 years, primary with MS Access. After short time I merged the data to Postgresql because of vendor lockin (and Access mdb databases where really bad/unstable). But the last thing to do was creating a frontend similar to what was able with Access before ... forms, business logic and such things. That was really a problem, I tried Python with PyQT/WX, Java/Groovy, PHP and Freepascal with Lazarus and I searched a replacement for a really long time. Now, that I programmed for about two days with Gambas, I see, I am at home now. Whoever programmed VBA/VB will understand Gambas with ease. The BASIC language is clear, the IDE is very cool, with a nice editor. All together it seems to be very stable, I will report when I wrote my first 40000 LOC. For me it is a perfect replacement for MS Access, it has all the things, which make Access a good frontend for Postgresql, and it lacks all the crazy features of Access, which I always circumvented by VBA-Code. If one wants a replacement for Visual Basic for Applications in Linux: Here it is! Thank you! Great work! ** Me again, one year later and with about 20000 lines of code written. Gambas is great! A lot of the code is productive in our firm, development speed increases because of more experience and a couple of tools and libs written. This object-oriented Basic is really the best solution for our need for a good RAD environment.

Lenguaje de programación fácil de aprender ideal para gente que se quiere iniciar en la programación, lo recomiendo 100%.

Simply superb. It offers the ease of use of VB or Delphi without being constrained to some of the poorer decisions of those environments. This is BASIC for real programmers.

This project is great!!

Good Compiler! Gambas is good when i have to make an application with Visual Basic. 100% recommended!

Excellent! I use it often to write quick, easy GUI apps for my Linux desktop. Keep up the good work!

The transition from vb. Net to Gambas is the natural state ... Gambas is indeed much easier to use and allow for better outcomes.

GAMBAS2 was a god-send. I used it to create an application for my Advanced Level Examination Project. I must say that it is absoluteley easy for any-one to use, and that (MicroSoft VisualBasic)©®TM users will feel right at home in it. It's great to see that it has been ported to Qt4. Thank You, and please keep up the good work!

Super Easy to learn and write apps.

Gambas is a very easy way to learn programming, or to create bigger applications. Just the best Basic in the world.

Excellent, gambas v3 is quite good, very capable and easy to use.

I like very much this (free !!!) programming tool; just a question: how can I put my free software on the Gambas page ? I followed the instructions, but the site requested for a username and password (that I don't own). Using my sourceforge account was unuseful. Is there an easy way to contribute to the project ? I have a fresh sms logger to add, please, help.

OMFG! I've been programming for going on 30 years now, and I _love_ GAMBAS. I just discovered it about a week ago, and have been having a wonderful time writing code. I used to do a lot of VB stuff in WinDoze, but I've been an Ubuntu Linux convert for the past several years, and the only thing I really missed was VB. THANK YOU!!!

Great BASIC development environment. I use it often to write quick, easy GUI apps for my Linux desktop. Keep up the good work!
