    Introducción Este míni-manual esta pensado y orientado para los asistentes al taller de Gambas. Dado que, a priori, esperamos la asistencia de gente sin conocimientos previos de programación este texto va a ser escueto y muy elemental. Además de dar una formación teórica básica tiene el propósito de servir como chuleta para poder consultar las sintaxis más elementales como por ejemplo de las condicionales, bucles, etc. Nuestra herramienta: GAMBAS Vamos a usar Gambas, un lenguaje de programación visual similar al Visual Basic de Microsoft. Gambas dispone de su propio IDE. Un IDE, por sus siglas en inglés, es un entorno de desarrollo integrado. Gambas es lo que se conoce como un lenguaje de programación interpretado y como ocurre con GNU que es un acrónimo recurrente (Gnu No es Unix) Gambas significa Gambas Almost Means BASic, que traducido al castellano es Gambas Casi es BASic. Los IDE's son unos programas que aglutinan todo lo que necesitamos para programar. Tenemos un editor para picar (vamos a ir introduciéndonos en la jerga del programador) código, con resaltado por colores, autocompletado para ayudarnos en la edición, señalización de errores, etc. Un depurador para poder controlar la ejecución del programa y evaluar su comportamiento con sus inspectores de variables, objetos, etc. Un compilador para generar los binarios, bytecodes, ejecutables, etc. Un empaquetador para crear los instaladores. Además disponen de otras herramientas como gestores de servicios SVC para el control de versiones como GIT o similares. Editores de conexión a bases de datos, etc. Lo primero que vemos al ejecutar Gambas la ventana de bienvenida y nos da varias opciones, abrir un proyecto existente, crear uno nuevo o abrir recientes.

The thesis is equivalent to 20 weeks of full time studies. The thesis is done in cooperation with Styrprojektering AB. Initiator to the project is Jan-Åke Gylling at Styrprojektering AB. The target group for this thesis is companies that creates installations in the building systems automation business, the users that controls those installations and also the house-owners of the buildings where the installations are made. Contact information Author: Marcus Gylling Email: [email protected] External advisor: Jan-Åke Gylling Styrprojektering AB University advisor: Rune Gustravsson II Remote wireless control of building management systems automation Blekinge Institute of Technology Department of Software Engineering and Computer Science Abstract The controlling unit in building management system automation is a PLC. Every device in an installation is connected to the PLC. When a user wants to interact with a system an operator terminal, which is attached to a cabinet where the PLC is installed, is used. With this solution the user needs to be in front of the cabinet to interact with the system. Alarms do not get the user’s attention until the user checks the operator terminal.

  • Windows Api Examples
    Windows Api Examples Petur J. Skulason. <mailto:[email protected]?subject=Windows Api Examples> http://www.est.is/~pjs/RealBasic/ http://u225.nett.is/~pjs/ All this is free to use in any application (commercial - shareware - freeware). Also to extract examples and post as examples from other websites. (I do not take any responsibility for how good this is, I dont call for any credit mony or anythink else ... ) These are few examples that I have found on lists, and by experimenting with Windows API calls and browsing MSDN website (http://msdn.microsoft.com/ ). Many text’s are copyed from MSDN website in this document are from MSDN website. Examples are tested on Win98 system, HP OmniBook XE2, compiled on PowerBook G3, PPC7300, LC475. Some of examples are working correctly. Most of examples are working, but some are not working, possible that i’am doing somthing wrong, but they are there. Comments, bugs, other samples welcome. Even requests for more samples. I might try to look at it and see if its possible. PS: In this document I have put some links to MSDN webpage’s. If you are running Internet Explorer then you might need to ‘disconnect java script’ couse then ie might show only part of page. Either run ie with *.js ‘OFF’ or use an other browser, like iCab or Netscape. (As of aug 30, 2000 then pages are displayed correct... problem might be solved... ) When declaring functions/subs then one is calling library, like user32.dll . Can omitt the name extension, use like Lib “user32” instead of Lib “user32.dll”.

  • Belajar Gambas
    I. BELAJAR GAMBAS Pada pertemuan kali ini kita akan belajar salah satu pemrograman dalam Linux. Ada banyak pemrograman dalam Linux seperti halnya pada Windows, tapi yang akan kita bahas sekarang adalah Gambas. Gambas, Apaan tuh? Boleh dikatakan Gambas adalah Visual basic-Nya Linux. Anda yang telah mengenal Visual Basic di windows pasti akan sangat familiar dengan scrip dalam Gambas, meskipun tidak semua skrip sama. Gambas murni proyek open source di bawah naungan GPL(General Public License). Jadi sifatnya Open source alias Free. Instalasi Gambas Kalau dalam Linux Anda tidak terinstal gambas maka Anda dapat mendownload di URLnya, http://gambas.sourceforge.net. Jika paketnya sudah anda dapatkan maka langkah pertama yang harus dilakukan Adalah dengan perintah : $ tar -xjpvf gambas-xxx.tar.bz2 , atau $tar xzpvf gambas-xxx.tar.gz kemudian lakukan konfigurasi dan instalasi dengan perintah berikut: $cd gambas-xxx $./configure $make $make install tunggu beberapa saat hingga proses selesai. pastikan tidak ada kesalahan pada saat penginstalan. Menjalankan Gambas Untuk menjalankan Gambas dapat dilakukan dengan beberapa cara, bisa melalui konsol atau melalui menu start > gambas. Jika sudah terinstal maka cara berikut bisa Anda lakukan: tekan kombinasi tombol Alt+F2 > ketikan gambas lalu tekan enter, maka jendela kerja gambas akan muncul seprti pada gambar1. Komponen dalam Gambas Ketika menjalankan Gambas, yang pertama muncul adalah jendela selamat datang. pada jendela ini ada beberapa pilihan seperti New project untuk membuat projek baru, Open project untuk membuka projek yang sudah kita buat, Recent project untuk membuka projek yang terakhir kita buka, Exsample untuk melihat contoh -contoh yang telah tersedia. kalau Anda pusing atau gak semangat tinggal quit aja.

  • BASIC Programming with Unix Introduction
    LinuxFocus article number 277 http://linuxfocus.org BASIC programming with Unix by John Perr <johnperr(at)Linuxfocus.org> Abstract: About the author: Developing with Linux or another Unix system in BASIC ? Why not ? Linux user since 1994, he is Various free solutions allows us to use the BASIC language to develop one of the French editors of interpreted or compiled applications. LinuxFocus. _________________ _________________ _________________ Translated to English by: Georges Tarbouriech <gt(at)Linuxfocus.org> Introduction Even if it appeared later than other languages on the computing scene, BASIC quickly became widespread on many non Unix systems as a replacement for the scripting languages natively found on Unix. This is probably the main reason why this language is rarely used by Unix people. Unix had a more powerful scripting language from the first day on. Like other scripting languages, BASIC is mostly an interpreted one and uses a rather simple syntax, without data types, apart from a distinction between strings and numbers. Historically, the name of the language comes from its simplicity and from the fact it allows to easily teach programming to students. Unfortunately, the lack of standardization lead to many different versions mostly incompatible with each other. We can even say there are as many versions as interpreters what makes BASIC hardly portable. Despite these drawbacks and many others that the "true programmers" will remind us, BASIC stays an option to be taken into account to quickly develop small programs. This has been especially true for many years because of the Integrated Development Environment found in Windows versions allowing graphical interface design in a few mouse clicks.
