February 08, 2011 — NS BASIC Corporation today announced support for PhoneGap. PhoneGap compiles web apps as native packages which can be submitted to the major app stores, as well as providing additional APIs.
“Apps created with NS Basic/App Studio have always been easy to distribute.”, said George Henne, President of NS BASIC Corporation. “The ability to submit them to Apple’s App Store and the Google Marketplace greatly expands the reach of developers.”
NS Basic/App Studio is a complete, easy to use BASIC development environment for iOS and Android devices, with a familiar look and feel. NS Basic/App Studio provides a full, modern implementation of BASIC, with proper subroutines, user defined data types and event driven execution. The development environment runs on a Windows desktop.
“We’re very pleased to see NS Basic support for PhoneGap. This IDE will certainly help a lot of developers who don’t want to jump into the nitty-gritty of HTML and JavaScript. We’re also excited that the large community of NS Basic will be able to benefit from and contribute to PhoneGap,” said Andre Charland, Nitobi CEO.
PhoneGap also adds additional APIs to NS Basic/App Studio. New functionality includes the compass, camera, contacts, files and notifications.
NS Basic/App Studio includes over 150 statements and functions. Support is provided for SQLite, geolocation, graphics and more. A full set of standard screen input and output objects and dialog boxes are included. A 200 page Handbook, Tutorials and lots of sample code are included.
The environment features a Design Screen, which allows you to graphically lay out your objects, set their properties and write code that responds to and controls them.
The execution framework is based on JavaScript, HTML5 and WebKit. While knowledge of these technologies is not required, they give NS Basic/App Studio considerable power under the hood. They also give NS Basic/App Studio apps portability to platforms supporting these technologies.
