Phoenix Object Basic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phoenix Object Basic is an object-oriented RAD tool for Linux. It combines the expressive power of object-oriented languages like Python and Perl with the familiarity and ease of use of Visual Basic. Phoenix allows developers with Visual Basic experience to start developing for Linux without having to face a steep learning curve: Phoenix uses the familiar visual design paradigm and has a full implementation of the BASIC programming language.

Key attributes:

  • Rapid Application Development for Linux
  • Short learning curve for VB developers
  • Object-oriented: use inheritance and polymorphism
  • Small executables, Fast execution
  • Cross platform

The Phoenix source code is currently not available because it contains proprietary third party components. Phoenix is free of charge and freely distributable, however, and an open source release is planned.
