Ability to integrate with Symbol Barcode scanners
Usability
I spent a little over a week learning the syntax of the language, experimenting, reading over the manuals and sent a few emails and spent some time on the phone with CASL support to assist with this review. Remember, I'm no programmer, so I was going into this endeavor cold.
I started by reading the Introduction to CASL e-book and reviewing the Video Tutorials.
In my lurid three decade history of using computers, I'm primarily self-taught. But I learned early on that the best way to learn how to do something so it really sinks in (whether it's computers, plumbing, or fixing you car) is to sit down next to someone who knows how to do that thing and watch what they do and ask a lot of questions. I would like to have seen more CASL tutorials made available and the documentation include better sample code, but I found what I needed.
There is also an active on-line CASL Community where I lurked a few times and was impressed by how friendly and helpful everyone seemed.

As I have mentioned in previous reviews, I'm not a developer, although I messed with BASIC years ago and tried to learn AREXX which had a huge role on Amiga computers, but sometimes I long to find that one certain app for my PalmOS Treos that just doesn't exist (or I just can't find). Maybe it's just a simple little program that would make my life easier, and I could either scour the internet for hours searching for it, but failing that, if I could code, I could just write it myself. If only there was a tool that made writing programs for my Treos easy enough that I didn't have to spend months or years taking classes, reading books and learning how to use it.
To give this language a run-through, with my limited coding experience, I thought I'd try to make a very simple game � cute, somewhat entertaining, exists in at least one programming text book and should be simple enough for me to recreate in CASL. What could it be, you ask? Why it's a guessing game, of course! (Did you guess?).
