Seccia is a software development environment that offers you powerful assistance to create your own win32 applications. This software is distributed as FREEWARE. It features:

a complete object-oriented programming language, with inheritance and polymorphism
two modes of operation: an assisted programming mode for novices; and for experts, a multi-tab auto-complete editor with syntax coloring and checking
no MFC dependencies
a large number of powerful integrated objects
alpha transparency and unlimited irregular windows
multithreading applications
3D integration with DirectX.
a step-by-step debug mode
a protected interpreter - your code is encrypted and all your variables, functions and parameters are renamed with numbers
C++ and, in addition, Seccia extensions (which become objects in their own right)
make your 2D games with Direct3D sprites (windowed or fullscreen).

...we are also planning to release:

a native Skin engine to enable you to ship your applications with graphical themes and a skinning tool - without using external components
a powerful DataBase Server/Client.

We encourage you to try Seccia, and to help us make it a sensational breakthrough product. Please send us your suggestions and comments.

Newbees	Amateur Programmers	Intermediate Programmers	Professional Programmers
You've never programmed your life and you want to start without spending a single cent? You write mini programs with spreadsheets and now you want to do with a programming software so easily? Seccia can help you take the plunge thanks to its simple interface, clear and intuitive. VCG editor allows you to write applications without using a conventional keyboard programming requiring a difficult learning. The learning will gradually smooth as a simple software.	You're used to programming scripts, sometimes a few applications but you are often confronted with major difficulties preventing you to make your projects more efficient? Your goal is mainly to design tools or small applications for fun on weekends without spending all your free time? Looking for an intermediate language as you have already learned the basics of programming and want to progress in learning the concept of object-oriented programming? Seccia is the ideal tool offering both the assisted mode and expert mode depending on your assets and needs.	Looking for an alternative development tool because you already have a good experience programming, you know one or more languages, and object-oriented programming is essential? You want to give up your current development tool that is a gas plant for a comprehensive, flexible and accurate software? Getting started in C++ and you want to improve in C++ extensions? Still cannot find the language that you should? Try as you experience investing seriously in learning Seccia that will allow you to make powerful applications.	You want to develop C++ extensions for Seccia? Looking for a software that will be able to design tools quickly, and faster than C++? Seccia can also be very helpful to your business as an additional tool.

Where can I find tutorials to start learning SECCIA?

Bill Aitken is producing a series of beginner's tutorials based around the VCG:
- Seccia Basics Tutorial #1
- Seccia Basics Tutorial #2
- Seccia Basics Tutorial #3
What makes SECCIA special? What are SECCIA's strengths?

Seccia proposes you two development modes: the Visual Code Generator for novices that is an innovative tool, and a standard powerful Code Editor for advanced users.

VCG is a great code editor to start programming as would be a four-wheel bike to learn to cycle, and then maybe migrate to the Code Editor if you want to make more complex applications in Seccia or other languages.

The work environment is light and that is a breeze to create controls and access to its events.
Does it feature a unique paradigm of programming?

The language used is a new oriented-object language, but similar to JavaScript, PHP, C++...
Is it easy to use? Will I be able to develop software quickly?

With the innovative VCG tool, the development becomes very easy and that is the best solution to start programming.

You can make your first application in a few minutes and more complex applications very faster than big softwares. Because all you need to create an application is already programmed for you and ready to use.
Will it help me learn good, structured programming techniques and OO design that I can use on other languages later?

Yes, because Seccia is based on a new simple oriented-object language and easy to learn, including the essential standard concepts of the OOP that you will be able to use on other languages.
Will I have fun programming in SECCIA?

Yes of course! We hope you will enjoy and have fun programming otherwise that is not interesting. We think programming is first a pleasure.
Can I use SECCIA freely? Can it be used in schools, to teach programming?

Yes, there are no restrictions of rights to use, copy, and distribute the software.
Can I sell my applications created with SECCIA?

Yes, there are no royalties required.
Will professional programmers find it useful?

Seccia can be a useful additional tool for business, doing any basic tasks faster.
Is it stable? Is it fast? Is it secure? Does it produce small executables?

Seccia is not a compiler. An interpreter is always slower than compiler and produces large executables. But this one is a fast interpreter and the source code is protected. It is extremely hard to crack an application created with Seccia and more complicated than compilers.

We also try to release new stable versions frequently taking into account your suggestions and bug reports.
