Developing Windows Apps

I have purchased B4A and, as it is such a brilliant product, I am well on my way to developing my app to run on Andriod devices.

My app is primarily a Sqlite database application and I use Andriod Sync to synchronise the database to the desktop. However, I need a Windows app to produce reports from the database on the desktop.

Can Basic4PPC develop apps to run on Windows desktop?

Thanks, Klaus!

How different is Basic4PPC to B4A?
  • Would there be a learning curve?
  • Does one need to rewrite the code or can most of it just be copied accros?

The basic language is the same, just a few keywords are different. But the operating system is not the same, this makes the big difference, and if you are not used to Windows you need to learn these differences.

Oh, yes.

All routines related to the operating system must be rewritten or adapted. Pure basic routines can mostly be copied (variable declaration is also a bit different).

Best regards.

Thanks, Klaus, that helps me a lot!

Are there plans for Basic4PPC to work for Windows Phone 7?
