The developers that gave you aVBasic and aVBasic+DB now bring you aVBasicPro. aVBasicPro is the same visually oriented programming environment as aVBasic and aVBasic Free, and +DB. Select a control with the menu selection "New Control," drag it to where you want it on the screen, and touch it to change it, then add BASIC code to it. One line of BASIC can do a lot.

aVBasic Pro allows you to write your own applications and run them on your device. Using an extended version of the Basic language, you are able to add labels, text fields, buttons and switches on your screen, add code to them, and run your application.

Your device will speak "hello".
