With GoDB, you can create Mobile Applications that run on Symbian OS ,Palm OS, Pocket PC, Linux, and Windows in ten minutes without knowing any complicated language. Surprised?
Read on.

Get started!!!

First download GoDB from download.com. and install it.

Run GoDB and select New Project from the File option of GStudio IDE.

Create a New Project

Lets create a Simple Hello World Application that runs on all devices

You should know just 3 things before you start creating complicated mobile applications in GBasic (The scripting language that comes with the GoDB tool):

1. The .TXT files are created when you create a project. These are just FORM files (designed using the form builder ) where you create your forms just like in VB.
2. .BAS files are the GBASIC programmes where the events are handled for the form elements in the .txt file like buttons, textboxes like button1_click.
3. The .TXT and the corresponding .BAS file should have the same primary name.

Now that we are clear on these three rules . We can get started at creating a simple application in all the platforms within no time.

Hello World!

To create the hello world program:

1. Design a form by selecting a button from the toolbox and placing it on the design window in a .txt file called home.txt
2. To create a .bas file double click on the button . A .bas by the same name gets created with the event handler code. Enter the following code:

Now, select the PDA you wish to run the application:

Build and run ( F5) the program and we are ready to run the application on all platforms:

To change PDA type to Symbian and run the application.:
