About McBasic™

Small ideas deserve real software.

McBasic™ brings visual interface design and readable BASIC together in a development environment made for Mac.

A direct path from idea to application#

A personal utility, a records desk, an internal workflow or a small desktop tool should begin with the problem you want to solve. In McBasic™, you design a Form, name its controls, connect an event and write the behavior. The interface and the code remain close enough to understand together.

The same project can grow into multiple windows, local SQLite storage, asynchronous web requests, reports and reusable components. You can start small without pretending the rest of application development does not exist.

For people who want to make useful things#

Learn by making

Build a working application with exact properties, event bindings and complete code.

Start your first app

Connect real workflows

Practice input, local records, web responses and exports in a complete project.

Explore a larger project

Reuse what you build

Move shared behavior into libraries, composed controls or SDK components.

What guides the product#

Principle	What it means in practice
Visible behavior	Control names, properties, events and source code should make the application understandable.
Useful foundations	Forms, language, data and the build tools belong in the same learning path.
Verifiable examples	A tutorial needs complete source, clear prerequisites and observable checkpoints.
Honest boundaries	A development build is not a store release. A compiler pass is not proof of every user interaction.

Documentation that grows with the implementation#

This website is a separate English publication, written for reading and learning on the web. Guides explain decisions; tutorials walk through working projects; reference pages describe typed APIs. The implementation supplies API contracts and executable examples, not copied manual chapters.

Each documentation snapshot records its application build, Git revision and technical input hashes. Learning paths make feature coverage visible, and release notes explain changes and current limitations.

Publisher and availability#

McBasic™ is published by QBeat, Singapore.

The McBasic™ application is planned for the Mac App Store. The website’s ZIP downloads are tutorial source projects, not an alternative application installer.
