Dark Basic Professional Review
Awsome for less serious applications.
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Great IDE interface, easy to learn language with few bugs, great community.
Many limitations compared to open source alternatives. A bit pricey considering there are free equivalents.
This is really a great language for beginner programmers, or advanced programmers who don't need to overkill with c/c++ etc.
The reason I say it isn't great for "serious" applications, is that it has many limitations in comparison to other open source free languages. If you are a beginner programmer who is looking to make a profession out of it, I wouldn't recommend starting with this as it is not an industry standard. You should really try to learn a different language like c/c++ before or alongside this if you are a beginner.
However, if you aren't going to get "serious" this is a great and easy way to get your ideas onto the screen. Its extremely easy to get started with, and there is a massive amount of help docs, sample code, and community members to get you going.
I would say go for it if you have an idea that your are itching to get onto screen and working.
