Feature changed by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308466, revision 3 Title: kbasic openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: KBasic is a programming language which is simply intuitive and easy to learn. It is a new programming language, a further BASIC dialect and is related to VB.NET™, Visual Basic®, Visual Basic for Application® and Java™. It combines many features of those tools and comes with built-in backward support for those tools and QBasic® as it is 100% syntax compatible to VB6, VBA and QBasic®. A big advantage is its reasonably similar look/feel will mean users migrating to openSUSE Linux from MS-Windows will be more at home with a programming language reasonably similar to what they are used to. Discussion: #1: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) (2009-12-05 11:44:48) Web page with more information on KBasic to assist in any evaluation as to whether it is worth the effort to include in openSUSE package: http://kbasic.com/ + #2: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) (2009-12-05 14:51:47) + Note - independant of what ever one may think of users migrating from a + "Redmond" based operating system, in my view openSUSE needs a basic + visual programming language for all openSUSE users who want a simple + programming environment. + It does not matter how the users arrived at openSUSE, nor where they + originated from. openSUSE needs such a programming language + environment. This package can provide that environment. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308466
