Premier Articles for Liberty Basic
Resources for the Beginner: Often it is asked by beginners: "Where can I get more
information about programming in Liberty Basic". To answer this question I
wrote a brief little article that was featured in the October 2002 issue of LBNews (#101).

The Beginners Programming Series: Learning to program from scratch can seem almost impossible
sometimes, but there is hope as one tries to penetrate the fog. This series is
designed to be a beacon to help guide the new programmer. The series is being
published in the Liberty Basic Newsletter as well as online here. Watch for the
series to grow. Currently the following parts are available for download:
Part One - Getting Started (51K)
Part Two - The Programming Process
(88 K)
The Event Driven Programming Series: Another series of articles again written for the LB
Newsletter, this set of articles are aimed at the intermediate programmer who might be
struggling with the GUI elements of Liberty Basic. Specifically programmers coming
form text based environments, such as QBasic. This series is currently at two
articles. I expect to add one or two more in the coming months. Click the
links below to download the articles:
Part One - Events Introduced (9 K)
Part Two - What Makes an Event and Scan (56 K)
The Beginners Guide to the API: Using API and DLL calls in Liberty Basic is one of those
areas that most LB programmers approach with some trepidation. This article is
intended to ease the introduction of the many complex concepts involved in making calls to
a DLL. Written not for the beginner programmer, but rather for those comfortable
with Liberty Basic who want to broaden their horizons. This articles was featured in
the October 2002 issue of LBNews (#101). BeginnersGuidetoAPI.rtf, 50kb
The Road to Release: Many amateur programmers finish their projects and release them to
the consuming public before they are truly ready for release. This article, featured
in the July 2002 issue of LBNews (#99), details the many fine details that should be
completed before a software program can really be called a releasable product. RoadtoRelease.zip, 26kb The article guides the
reader in taking a simple program and preparing it for release as an installable
application. That application (Liberty Basic News Reader 2) is available as an
installable download. LBNR2-setup.zip, 1398kb
