Learn GAMBAS with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 21, 2025
Performance Notes
Gambas is interpreted, so execution is slower than compiled languages
Use modules to organize code and reduce overhead
Avoid excessive nested loops for large data sets
GUI applications are optimized via the IDE’s rendering engine
Memory management is automatic but monitor large datasets
Security Notes
Validate user input for forms and databases
Sanitize SQL queries to prevent injection
Avoid storing sensitive data in plain text
Limit network access when using sockets
Keep the system and Gambas runtime updated
Monitoring Analytics
Use IDE debugger to monitor performance
Log runtime errors and user actions
Check memory usage for long-running apps
Profile SQL queries for efficiency
Monitor GUI responsiveness
Code Quality
Follow Gambas syntax and style conventions
Comment modules and methods
Use consistent naming for forms and controls
Leverage modules and classes for maintainability
Unit test critical subroutines and database operations
