Gambas

Gambas an be used to design a program GUI's with QT or GTK+.

Allows easy access to MySQL, Firebird, PostgreSQL, ODBC and SQLite databases, pilot KDE applications with DCOP, etc..

Can also be used to translate a program into any language, create network applications easily, make 3D OpenGL applications, make CGI web applications, and much more.

A program written with Gambas is a set of files, each file describing a class, in terms of object programming.

The class files are compiled, then executed by an interpreter.
