FreeBASIC Insight

(note to management, this is just a draft as I collect my thoughts for this article, it shouldn’t be published anytime soon)
I suppose that I’m getting a well-earned reputation for writing for and about noobs. This begs the question, am I, hartnell, a noob myself? Could I possibly suffer to wear this title? You betcha! […]

INTRODUCTION:
In today’s computer world, a programmer (new comer or experienced) often finds himself or herself needing a specific tool. Sometimes, finding that tool is rather easy especially if one is willing to sacrifice feature to save himself the trouble of creating his own set of tools. On the other hand, when you really […]

The FreeBASIC community is an interesting one. It came into being like a phoenix, rising from the ashes of the QBASIC community (even though we still call it the Qmunity).

It has been brought to my attention recently that it is not completely clear how to submit an article to us. I thought to clarify the procedure. Rather, I thought to actually make a proper procedure.

Once you have written an article, tutorial, code snippet or little trick you want to share with the […]

Update: I have added several (hopefully) cool new features. The main page has received an upgrade of its sidebar - with a better mini archive, recent comments and a nifty translation service (via Google Translate). There is now a dedicated submissions form, too. More to come.
You’ve read a couple of articles, […]

With the combination of its standard BASIC features to its advance features, (pointers, C/C++ library support, etc…) FreeBASIC supplies its users with the familiarity of classic BASIC, but ability beyond what BASIC users have experienced. However, even with FreeBASIC’s array […]

Over the Internet, it is sometimes difficult to truly understand what people mean. Misinterpreted meanings sometimes then come off as insults, and you have yourself a flame war. It’s unfortunate, because for the most part, people mean no harm, and it is just a matter of a simple issue snowballing out of control.

Hey, and welcome to FreeBASIC Insight!
I’m glad you’re here and hope you’ll enjoy your time listening to the banterings of myself and the other authors here. Keep posted, we’ll be added stuff on a (hopefully) regular basis.
Thanks,
