GNAVI is the open source alternative to visual software development languages like Delphi and Visual Basic. In addition to just being fully Open Source under the GPL, the language foundation of GNAVI, unlike Pascal or Basic of its competition, is the international standard of engineering, Ada. GNAVI for Windows offers comparable features to Delphi and Visual Basic including use of Active X controls and the ability to interface with .NET and Java. GNAVI is also currently being ported to Mac OS X and Linux/UNIX
The GNAVI frameworks for Windows are stable and have been used in professional applications for some years now, the IDE that will pull together the Delphi/VB/RAD like look and feel is currently under development, snap shots are available and are posted regularly. The following steps are what is needed to start programming with the GNAVI frameworks until the full installer and IDE packages will be available in the coming months.
The GNAVI IDE is now being built and snap shots are coming quick! The current GNAVI IDE snap shot lets your create projects and work with adding new / delete and editting windows, controls, etc. You can do RAD with the XML, Outline View and NOW do visual layouts! Work on the Layout View for traditional VB/Delphi style GUI layout is coming fast and you can already move around and resize controls.
GNAVI support is currently available on the GNAVI List. If you need help with, would like to discuss or join the GNAVI project join the GNAVI List by click on the link.
