About Run BASIC development

Stefan, you seem to be an active run basic participant.

There seems to be about a 3 year lapse in activity from devs. Is it a dead project ? Is it suitable for a company web application to serve 100-200 hits per week to public and provide an admin interface and additional automated tasks. Is it to far behind changes in web tech ?

Im a lost vb6 hobbyist i cant get into other languages. This looks ideal.

RB is not dead, but Carl, the main developer, is currently working on his second language Liberty BASIC to get a release out the door.

Both languages share the same code base, so for the future he will be able to apply fixes to both languages at the same time, which should reduce his workload immensely.

The main Run BASIC site is running on an old machine at Carl's home, so it is definitely suited for a company web.

This is mentioned somewhere in this forum, since one once asked about hardware requirements.

Thanks that's good to know, i will pursue my project.

Are there any plans to add things from Run Basic to LB.
If some of the web commands like http, httpGet$(), and selection(), content() and other web interfaces are added, then we could use LB for standalone and CGI for web stuff.

Has anyone heard if this will happen??

You may read the announcement thread at the top of each board called Personal Server Other Then For Windows?

A search in this forum for buy linux within the last 700 days displaying 200 hits would have revealed this too

mmm main run basic site says
Web programming for people who really like to program! Just $59.95!

4 trial versions below

Kind of gives the impression you buying the full version of all below.

Wouldnt it makes sense to move the links in the threads you mention onto main website ? Certainly business sense.

'buy linux' cant be searched for as buy is < 4 chars.

Spent money got nothing..............

The answer in the above mentioned thread has been given by Carl himself, so I can't tell why he didn't update the site.

'buy linux' cant be searched for as buy is < 4 chars.

Well, I have found the announcement by exactly that search, so I think searching only for "buy" alone would be a problem.

Looking for 'set css' is also a problem as i found today.

Not sure what you want to do with CSS, but there are examples in the Community Wiki Sample Code section that may help answer your question.

Hope this helps..

software dev't is for people who have a little bit effort and patience... thats my opinion.

[bovnet]

meerkat yes found what i was looking for (setting external styles sheets). xv i was merely pointing out a 4 char search rule excludes many genuinue searches and in my opinion seems dumb.
