Basic

A unique cross-platform tool

Phoenix Object Basic is a unique object-oriented RAD tool for both Linux and Windows. It combines the expressive power of object-oriented languages like C++ or Python with the familiarity and ease of use of Visual Basic™. Phoenix allows developers with an installed base of VB or Access™ applications to start developing for a mixed Windows and Linux environment without having to face a steep learning curve: Phoenix uses the familiar visual design paradigm and has a full implementation of the Basic language.

The highlights:

  • Rapid Application Development for Linux and Windows
  • Very short learning curve for VB, Access developers
  • Fully object-oriented: use inheritance and polymorphism
  • Small executables, Fast execution
  • Easy to distribute applications

Familiar BASIC language

Phoenix Object Basic is a modern, rich version of the language that has been popular for over 40 years. Developers that have built up their skill set working with other products using the BASIC language (such as the Access desktop database) will find that upgrading to Phoenix Object Basic has a very short learning curve.
