Basic4ppc is a beginner-friendly program, but the latest update (to version 3.01) makes clear that the developer is not content with beginner-oriented functionality. Quite the contrary: it appears that Basic4ppc is continuing to mature into a powerful tool.
Here's a taste of the improvements in Version 3.01:
* Programs now compile directly to Windows Mobile (i.e., no runtime is required)
* The icon file of programs can now be changed
* A new table control with built-in CSV/XML support
* A new image button control
* A new array list control
* A new image list control
* Landscape support
