Liberty BASIC is an easy to learn programming language for Windows. Liberty BASIC's focus is to uncomplicate Windows programming. You don't need to understand all the nitty gritty details of Windows to use Liberty BASIC. Use it to create custom utilities, business applications, games, programs that control equipment or what ever you want. Liberty BASIC consists of an integrated editor, compiler, and debugger. It also comes with a GUI editor called FreeForm, which is itself written in Liberty BASIC.
