Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Phoenix Object Basic is an object-oriented RAD tool for Linux. It has object-oriented features such as inheritance and polymorphism as found in languages such as Python and Perl. It also features a similar design environment and compatible syntax to Visual Basic reducing the learning curve for those making a transition from that language to Linux programming. Phoenix includes a full implementation of the BASIC programming language. It was first released for download in 2001 and the Linux package is presently at version 1.5 beta 6 (released October 2004), it also requires the distribution of a small number of runtime library files with complied applications.
