ForceBasic - Is a programming language for software development.
Selecting library unit you can write program for some operation system.
ForceBasic compiler can build crosspatrofm code, which is executed with
a help of virtual machine.

Compiler can build very compact and small codes, and as a result - the minimum size of the virtual machine is 50K and the minimal size of the executed file (exe) is 3K.

With a help of ForceBasic you can not only write small program, but you
can also develop libraries ( for graphics, for GUI interface, for sound
system, data base, and other systems ).

ForceBasic have Basic`s syntax. Inherited from Visual Basic, and object-oriented syntax from C++.

That allows to use objects easier, and to develop hard objects as in C++ language.

If you write program in other languages and environments ( Visual Studio, Delphi, C++ Builder...) you can implement and execute ForceBasic`s byte-code. So you can write parts of the program on ForceBasic programming languge.

The virtual machine (VM), in ForceBasic, is not only program which run byte-code. ForceBasic VM is library with tools for manipulation byte-code

.ForceBasic - Is an object-oriented language, it includes object-oriented programming elements, such as: incapsuling, implements, polymorphism. For programming classes you can use: field creation, methods, virtual methods, events, properties, operators, construstors and destructor. ForceBasic includes some features of a procedural language, so in ForceBasic you can make procedures, functions, global fields in module, like in QBasic.

Last version of ForceBasic compiler/interpreter you can download from forcebasic sourceforge project or forcebasic home page.
