Learn Qt

Do you remember the good old days:

10 print "You're Qt"
20 goto 10

Well, for all you BASIC aficionados out there, there are (to my knowledge) two BASIC dialects that lets you develop Qt applications: Gambas and KBasic.

Gambas is modularized and supports both Qt and GTK+. It supports BASIC with objects, just as VB 6 did. It is, however, not compatible with VB. The project has a visual environment that you can develop and debug in and has been around quite a few years.

KBasic, on the other hand, is compatible with QBasic, VB and VBA. That is one of the project goals. It also sports a visual development environment, including a debugger and looks quite promissing.

I must confess that it has been quite a few years since I developed in BASIC (I used VB6, back in 1999 I believe) and have not tried any of the projects mentioned above. However, both are free, so you can just download them and try them out.
