Did you ever

• want to write programs that look and operate like other MacOS X applications?
• hesitate to get hands on the 250 MBytes of the Xcode and learn Objective C?
• have the experience of simplified object oriented BASIC programming?

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, 2001, ISBN 0-596-00160-6".
