DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

       Gambas  is  a  free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions, a mix of
       Java(tm) and Visual Basic(tm).  With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI  with  Qt  or  GTK+,
       access  database  systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQlite or ODBC databases, pilot applications with DBus,
       translate your program into many languages, create GStreamer, OpenGL or SDL applications, and so on...
