Basic4ppc Desktop is the fastest way to develop applications to the Pocket PC at a price affordable by anyone. Built in Visual Designer and built in Smart Help allow you to program complicated programs wherever you are. A complete help file is added to the Zip File. Basic4ppc Desktop (freeware) allows you to build and test your applications on the desktop. Develop your application with Basic4ppc and distribute (royalty free) to anyone with a Pocket PC. Anyone can run the Basic4ppc programs for free, after downloading the freeware Basic4ppc Runner. (Developers don't need to download the Runner) Basic4ppc is built upon the powerful and stable Microsoft .Net CF. The language is somewhere between Basic and Microsoft Visual Basic. Basic4ppc is an event driven language, with local and global variables, and recursive capable subroutines. When writing the source code a description will appear for every known keyword and help you get used to Basic4ppc Language. The help files are built in and are easy to navigate. Controls properties and methods will popup automatically after writing a controls name and a dot. WYSIWYG Visual Designer allows you to place the controls on the forms, change their properties and write their events.
