AmigaBASIC Reference
« on: December 28, 2004, 01:20:20 AM »
Hello everyone,

I'm new to this place, which I'm lovin more and more.  I have a question.  I've been looking all over the web but can't seem to find any kind of online reference for AmigaBASIC. I know there's AMOS, Blitz, GFA Basic and others much better than AmigaBASIC, but for the sake of my good ole emulator, running smoothly Workbench 1.2 I'd still like some good AmigaBASIC reference.  

Anyone know where I can find any PDF or HTML type reference?

Thanks in advance for any help.

DarkShadow

Well any reference would be good...but something that can, dare I say, push AmigaBASIC to it's limits.  So A good reference of every command and function available.  to create GUI elements (or at least use them), file access and I/O, file management, basically everything I need to make a semi decent program knowing in advance that it is AmigaBASIC :-).  

Also if there's some place or some reference with plenty of example programs (not just games but utilities, semi applications and tools would be good to).

Of course I don't want to buy books per se, so I'm hoping the reference you might have can be downloadable some how, or sent to my email. :-).

In english or french since I can't read swedish or german or spanish or italian or any other language

Thank you :-)

 :-D

Ada, not ADA :-).   is a programming language originally designed by the Department of Defense of the United States. It's an old language that can kick ass so to speak at any other language I've seen.  performance and readability.  It's a standarized language (as in a group from ISO standard is defining what the language should be). to give you a general idea you can call Ada a superset of Pascal but that's where the similarities end.

Ada World http://www.adaworld.com is my website that made for the language. It's a central place where you can go to find out what Ada is, learn to program in it (thanks to my learning center that features tutorials and downloadable references). Learn what's being developed and what's available to Ada Developers. Feel free to visit ;-).
