REAL Studio is a development tool that's like Visual Basic, but cross-platform.
Are you a Visual Basic developer looking for a new home or perhaps to deploy on Mac or Linux? Looking for an alternative to .NET? Look no further. REAL Studio (formerly REALbasic) can extend your offering from Windows only to include Mac and Linux. With the rising market share of the Mac, it's a platform developers can no longer afford to ignore. Dramatically increase your user base by expanding your offering!
A Familiar Environment
If you are a Visual Basic developer you will find REAL Studio to be quite similar. Open a form, drag some controls onto it, double-click a control to add code. The development process and many of the commands are exactly the same. You can start being productive with REAL Studio almost immediately.
Leverage Your Existing Code
You may have spent years developing your Visual Basic skills and REAL Studio allows you to continue to gain a return on your investment. Take your Visual Basic skills with you rather than starting over from scratch with a completely different environment. Commands you use often like DIM, STR, MID, LEFT, RIGHT, MSGBOX and more are all supported in REAL Studio.
Port Your Code
Porting your applications from Visual Basic to REAL Studio is a straightforward process. REAL Software provides a Visual Basic Migration Assistant that will help you in the process. Most developers find that their projects port in hours or days, rather than weeks or months required in other environments.
Go Cross-Platform
Unlike Visual Basic, REAL Studio is cross-platform, so you can now build Mac and Linux versions of your Visual Basic projects. More platforms mean more customers and more sales.
Great Support for Windows
REAL Studio has great support for Windows technology. Your applications will be theme-savvy automatically and they will look and run correctly on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7. In addition, REAL Studio supports many Windows-only technologies such as NotifyIcon and the Registry. You can also use the Declare command to make any Win32 API call you need.
