Doing a Talk at Meetup on QB64

good luck with the broadcast.

i hope you have a ready answer.  because at least one person will ask, "what about object-oriented programming?  but freebasic is better, could do oop there, so it's more modern.  what is so special then about qb64?"  maybe i'm being naive but still...

Yeah, but FreeBASIC isn't really BASIC. It isn't really free, either. I tried it twice, and that's 30 minutes I'll never get back.

OOP? It is possible to play with OOP using Rapid-Q but I don't think that the solution of coding if OOP Forever and Anywhere.
It is a way to follow remembering that also in OOP there is GOTO! 
follow these links to verificate: GOTO in VB, GOTO in C++, GOTO in Pascal/Delphi, GOTO in Java

this seems to be the line of evolution of coding tecnique:
spaghetti code --> structured code --> modular code |--> OOP -------------------|
                                                                            |--> event driven code <--

Surely someone else can give more infos about this matter.

About FreeBasic I dunno what is good and what is bad. I tried to go into so time ago, and the low compatibility with my code in QBasic let me look around until I found QB64 now QB64pe.
