Write Scientific and Educational Programs on the iPhone/iPad with techBASIC

Overview

techBASIC is a comprehensive software development and technical computing environment for programming, data collection, displaying sophisticated interactive graphics and analyzing data. techBASIC is a powerful matrix-rich version of the famously easy to use BASIC programming language. Our built-in help system, reference manual and web-based tutorials make it easy to start using techBASIC for real problems in programming, education and the professional lab right away.

Key Features:
