Gambas
Gambas is a graphical development environment based on a Basic interpreter, like Visual Basic. It uses the Qt toolkit, but is able to use any other toolkit that a module is written for.

A newly revised edition of A Beginner’s Guide to Gambas is being published in July, and it will probably be available in physical book form by the beginning of August. A free .pdf version of this new edition is available for download, under the Open Content License, from the blog that I put up recently to support the book — beginnersguidetogambas... . There are additional downloads of materials to facilitate Gambas study from the book.
You may already be aware of the first version of the book, which was published in 2005. There are many corrections and updates in the new version, and we’ve made sure that the material is compatible with both Gambas2 and Gambas3.

Most likely for sub names, for example button_click() works, button_on_click() doesn't.
Hope that helped, Robert.
Gambas and sockets
I have a slight problem with sockets, well, not knowing how to get them working in gambas. The problem is fully described www.linuxbasic.net/ind... <-- here, please can someone help me. Either email me or post on the forum.
Thanks alot, Robert Small
underscore?
Why is an underscore not allowed in identifier names?
This_Is_My_ID is much easier to read than ThisIsMyID.
Underscored identifiers can also be located more
easily by a quick visual scan.
