lots of info on the net and you tube.
one reason it seems that pb has an advantage is it compiles to standalone exe's with no dependencies ?
there is a free version i believe to let people get their feet wet.

so have a go if someone is interested in apps...and youll get a wonderfull new found respect for programmers lol.

i was lousy at it...too many late night 24/7 zillion line code projects...
so i moved into mgt...lmao.

if you really wanna get hot and heavy...code up a new operating system..lol..eg...
