Gambas is the name of an object-oriented dialect of the BASIC programming language as well as the integrated development environment that accompanies it. It is designed to run on Linux and other Unix-like computer operating systems.[2] Its name is a recursive acronym for Gambas Almost Means Basic. Gambas is also the word for prawns in the Spanish language, from which the project's logos are derived.

4. Gambas History
Developed by the French programmer Benoît Minisini
First release coming in 1999
Gambas 1.x versions featured an interface made up
➢ Fimilar fashion to the interface of the GIMP
➢ only develop applications using Qt
➢ oriented towards the development of applications for
KDE
➢ The last release is Gambas 1.0.19
Gambas 2.x was released on 02 January 2008
➢ It featured a major redesign of the interface
➢ Gambas 2.x versions can load up and run Gambas 1.x
projects
➢ use GTK+ for drawing or utilize OpenGL acceleration
➢ The Stable Version & Using Now 2.23.1 (27 May 2011)
Gambas 3 RC was released on 27 May 2011

13. WHY NOT USING GAMBAS?
Writing It's Own Language Is Funny & Exciting
Easy To Learn With Something Visual, Easy & Basic
Development Environment Is Easy To Use
Fast To Development Something Simple Application/Software
An Object-oriented Language
Components Are Designed To Be As Simple & Coherent As
Possible
You Can Write Software That Is Independent From The Graphical
Toolkit & The Underlaying Database Management System
Good To Teach At University As Basic Programming Language
To Make The Power Of GNU/Linux Libraries Easily Accessible
Last, But Not Least : GNU/Linux Is Free, Powerful, Secure & Cool

14. THE GAMBAS FUTURE
✔ New Development Environment
✔ QT & QTK+ Components Completed
✔ Controls Bound To Data Sources
✔ Report Designer
✔ DBUS Protocol
✔ Making Web Applications
✔ Help Porting Visual Basic™ Applications
✔ Object Persistence System
✔ And Many Moore..
