not really - define "good" and "cheap" ;)

I've used "real"basic [under Linux] and I have some on-going
"visual"basic applications I work with and maintain [both vb6 and .net],
(not to mention a few years of COBOL on the HP) so I probably will meet
your criteria for "good", but I ain't cheap.

I could point you to the offshore workers that (presumably) are knocking
out code that gets used around here -- sure, they're cheap, but I have
my doubts about "good" ["textbook" good, yes, but real-world?]

your "subject" also does not give any indication of the scope of the
project -- do you need a fancy "hello world" or a complete integrated
suite of tools and applications?  What database (if any) are we talking
about?  how complete are YOUR specs? :)

Tom

good -- fast -- cheap: pick any two
