techBASIC is the technical computing environment for the iPhone and iPad. This powerful implementation of the BASIC programming language includes built-in calls making it easy to create apps with interactive graphics, access internal sensors, connect to external devices like Arduino with Bluetooth low energy, and to connect to the Internet via WiFi.

techBASIC App Builder is the companion Macintosh app that gives iOS App Developers the ability to write a program in techBASIC on the iPhone or iPad, compile it under XCode with the techBASIC App Builder, and sell it on the App Store – all without using Objective C.
