Further Reading: Useful online resources

Although this is the end of the User Guide, it is not the end of the help that is available. There are some excellent websites which can assist you with your PureBasic programming.

The first place you should check out is the PureBasic Forum website, at http://forums.purebasic.com. It is a valuable resource for a PureBasic programmer with any level of experience. Since it is the official forum, most PureBasic programmers will hang out there and you can often get assistance from very skilled people in very short periods of time. There are lots of other users there who are willing to help you with problems, discuss algorithms, exchange suggestions and ideas. PureBasic's authors regularly take part in the forums so you can even talk to them directly!

Another highly recommended site is the PureBasic Resource Site, found at http://www.reelmediaproductions.com/pb. Please note that it is not an official site, but it is a very good one. It also has its own forums and maintains a large library of code snippets, libraries and tools that you can download.

There are a couple of other unofficial forums, which exist to support languages other than English. There is the German forum at http://www.pure-board.de/ and the French forum at http://www.serveurperso.com/~cederavic/.

If you want an alternative to web based forums, there are also e-mailing lists to which you can subscribe. The official list (English language) can be subscribed to by sending an email to mailing_request@purebasic.com with the subject "Subscribe".

If live chats with other PureBasic developers are what you are after then you may want to check out the official IRC channel. Some of the top coders from the official forum hang out here occasionally, including the PureBasic authors. The details for the channel are:
