Novell's Latest "Cool Solutions for Developers" Shows How to Port Visual
Basic Applications to Linux, Using REALbasic from REAL Software, Inc.
AUSTIN, Texas (October 13, 2004) -- REAL Software announced today that
Novell's "Cool Solutions for Developers" website features information to
help Visual Basic developers easily port their existing Windows applications
to run on Linux, using REALbasic.
In his article, Richard Smith, developer content manager at Novell, said of
his experience, "If you are one of the millions of Visual Basic programmers
and you find yourself faced with the requirement to deliver your
applications on Linux, REALbasic is a good choice to solve your problem.
Once you start using REALbasic you'll find that it exceeds Visual Basic in
many areas and can help you move your programming skills to a new level,
while still maintaining your existing user base."
REALbasic is a powerful, easy-to-use tool for creating cross-platform
desktop and server software for Windows, Linux and Macintosh. In addition,
because REALbasic is similar to Visual Basic and includes a conversion
utility, applications written in Visual Basic can be easily migrated
cross-platform to Linux.
"Enterprise developers are waking up to the idea that REALbasic takes the
complexity out of creating cross-platform software," stated Geoff Perlman,
president and CEO of REAL Software. "REALbasic contains an abstraction
layer that shields developers from platform-specific APIs, such as user
interface, file I/O and network communications. This enables Windows
developers to create cross-platform applications from a single set of source
code and to natively support Windows, Linux, even Macintosh, simply by
clicking a checkbox next to each target platform."
