GoDB: a Mobile Tool that supports Symbian OS, Palm OS, Pocket PC, Linux and Windows
No JAVA, No VB, No .NET

 
Quick Jump No JAVA , No VB, No .NET Write your own multiplatform "HelloWorld"


GoDB by Consigntech is a multiplatform tool with a GUI interface and a new scripting language called GBASIC. The language is similar to the BASIC language with the exception of features like event driven programming, form builder and simulators for Palm, Pocket PC, Nokia, Simputer, Laptops. Since it is very simple, programmers have to spend no time at learning the tool to build complicated applications for PDAs. Once the application is built the tool also takes care of deploying the application to the respective PDA as it gives the user the advantage of one click deployment. The user need not worry about the application not running on his PDA as his applications will run on any device ranging form POCKET PC to PALM and NOKIA to LAPTOPS.

GoDB is ideal for building complicated business applications, ERP applications , small time applications, personal use etc.

Online offline and hybrid applications can be built using GoDB platform.

Offline applications are those that do not require network connectivity to work. GoDB intelligently caches the required data on the client so the application can continue to run even when connectivity is not available. When the connection is restored the data is synchronized with the server securely.

Online applications can be built that utilize "always-on" connectivity for real-time information exchange.

GoDB allows you to design Special Hybrid applications that store large master of tables on the device when there is no connectivity available the user can use the local tables which can be synchronized periodically when the conection becomes available . Allowing the user to execute realtime online transactions using the local tables.

Is the source of the GoDB Virtual Machine available? Or do they provide a Linux verison for the ARM platform?

If not, it's a non-starter.

30 day free trial and you have to register with your email address to see what versions are available to download.

Note: they don't check that the email is valid, just that it confirms to x@b.c format  

Wasn't able to download anything using Mozilla or Firefox (latest version of both), but there is a version they say "should work on Sharp Zaurus" - their words.

No sign of any souce code either.

Don't think I'll be paying the $999 they have posted on their pricing page.

There was something similar released a long while back, used a VM in much the same way - cross-platform etc. It was by a French guy/company and the 'binaries' had a .bin extension (for those who might remember it as I couldn't find a link).

That said, why not just use Java? It's equally cross-platform and lots cheaper ;-)

maybe cuz it is easier to use? especially if it is basic-like.  For newbie wanna-be programers it may be a way to break in.  I know I would like to try programing my Z (c-680), but have no real clue where to start. (know some basic), looking for a easy way to learn.  but still reading and seeing what is out there.
