[Gambas-user] I am the new one...

[Eilert]

Hi everyone,

as I'm new here just reading the list for a couple of days I'd guess 
it's time to introduce myself.

I've been using several BASIC flavours since the early 80s (my first 
computer was a ZX81...) and despite some trials of Pascal, C, C++, 
Python etc. I have stuck with BASIC ever since. I coded the software for 
my firm (we run a private language school) and for that of my 
brother-in-law (granites import) in VB but soon I felt that I was 
heavily missing such a tool for Linux. Well, some days ago the problem 
seems to have been solved :-)

Although I easily found my way through the basics of Gambas and 
understood the overall concept, there are many things I haven't found 
yet and I hope I'll find the answers here.

Some time ago I was a member of the documentation team of KBasic which 
unfortunately died after its maintainer left it. As far as I could see, 
you have a WIKI for the documentation free for everyone to add articles. 
So when I will have learned enough about Gambas, I promise to add some 
stuff. For instance, I'm mostly missing examples for the explanations.
