User Opinions: NS Basic/Palm


AnonymousIt sure beats fighting with C

Thumbs Up

Get NSBasic if you want to write some quick code, don't want to learn (or hassle with) C, and/or have experience with Visual Basic. It has some rough edges and the manual (while good as a command reference) lacks examples, especially for database programming. On the plus side, I has my first program working on my Visor two hours after opening the box NSBasic was shipped in. In C it would have taken me two days!

Bill marcyWhy have a runtime when you don;t need it?

Thumbs Down

Bought NS/Basic, gave it a week, found that I have the same learning curve as CASL, and with the new CASL compiler (which is significantly less expensive also!) I don't need a run-time, it compiles directly to a PRC file. Also, the ability to use C libraries if I want to means that anything that can be done in C can be done in CASL, but without any of the C headaches. Give casl a try, http://www.caslsoft.com/

Thumbs Up

I love the program and find that the support that the team at NSBasic gives is the best. I usually get helped in 12 hours from reporting a problem

AnonymousOn no not BASIC

Thumbs Down

BASIC sucks, why learn another language again!

Thumbs Up

I've been using NSBasic for a while now - after investigating using CodeWarrior and learning C to get stuff done, NSBasic is an excellent, much simpler, cost effective alternative.
