Did you ever want to write programs that look and operate like other MacOS X applications, hesitate to get hands on the 250MBytes of the Project Builder and learn Objective C, have the experience of simplified object oriented BASIC programming.
Then CocoaBasic seems to be the right decision.

CocoaBasic is an Interactive software Development Environment for using the Cocoa Framework in an object oriented Basic Dialect. To learn about Cocoa we recommend: "Learning Cocoa, O'Reilly, 2100, ISBN 0-596-00160-6". The Basic Dialect resembles REALbasic but is not source code compatible: "REALbasic, O'Reilly, 2100, ISBN 0-596-00160-6".

Here are some key features of "CocoaBasic":
Easy to learn Object Oriented BASIC Language
Full integration with the Cocoa Framework with useful extensions provided (e.g. sorted tables)
Integrated Code and Interface Editor, Compiler, Debugger
Integrated editors for: Source Code (syntax aware), Instances, Windows and Views, Menus, Helpfiles, Icons, Sounds, File Types
Plugin and Resource file support
Generates native multi-language NIB-based Cocoa Applications
Full international language support for compiled applications.

What's New:
Basic Compiler working (mostly) incl. FOR/WHILE, IF/THEN/ELSE, SELECT, arrays approx. 20 examples provided
no shareware free but feedback, donations, and investments are welcome.
