Xojo means a lot to me and is part of my life, it's like a best friend! Thank you for providing a service second to none and for a wonderful product. Xojo is the professional development software that is an absolute pleasure to use!
For my day job, I'm the co-founder and CEO of Stack Overflow, the largest online community for programmers to learn, share their knowledge, and level up. Each month, more than 40 million professional and aspiring programmers visit Stack Overflow to ask and answer questions and find better jobs. Stack Overflow is also the flagship site of the Stack Exchange network, 160+ question and answer sites dedicated to all kinds of topics from cooking to gaming. According to Quantcast, Stack Overflow is the 30th largest web property in the United States and in the top 100 in the world.
Xojo Android will not allow Copy paste of UI Elements between IOS and Android, IOS and Desktop and nor between Android and Desktop. Thats clear before it is becoming a shipped app. We have to see the trues: developing professional working Software economy for a company can become really heavy with Xojo. Really heavy.
Looking on this situation I wuld ask myself why should I develop anything in Xojo? Why should I because it is not that kind of tools professionals can rely on. Not yet, not at the moment. It could be.
We should calm down this discussion. There are professional programmers which do not have the need for some extended functionality, many pros are not leavong MAC OS with thheir Software and many of them are not really working with Ios or Web. We have to agree under all circumstances that the question if somebody is programmer as a professional programmer or not is not hanging on the question of Language or IDE.
Yes, there has to be a deprecating when it is needed. But not in this wise and with this kind of behavior. Deprecatings in Java are not overcoming me from now to immediately. They start to be signed deprecated and after that they will be deprecated in following versions to die slowly. At Xojo deprecation comed immediately now without warnings. THAT is everything else than professional at all. Beside Java you have the same behavior in C, C++, Scala, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, Delphi, Lazarus and many, many more professional Languages.
So we should not discuss about the question if somebody is professional developer or even not. The question is another one. Is a programmer reaching the borders of the language or not. People which are not reaching the borders and have enough functionality with the plugins from market and have no controlling authority for cyber security will oe may not have problems to work in that wise.
I have and many others also and that is the point why many are changing and others are fanboys for Xojo. No question at all. Do your stuff and if you get your Job done: no problem. If not while there are restrictions, Bugs, problems or whatever: this people will be in the urgent need of an alterntive to xojo while they can not get their Job done. But that has not to do with professional while professional will every programmer be which sells his results. So it has nothing to do with the language e is writing.
Review Since its arrival in the mid-1990s, RealBasic has been helping amateur and professional software developers create applications quickly by side-stepping most of the complexities other languages and programming environments throw at them.
Programming tools are horses for courses, but RealBasic will run on a wide variety of race tracks. It's strength lies in its ability to hide complexity from the user. For the beginner that means an easy way into the arcane-seeming world of computer programming. For everyone else, from the occasional coder up to the professional, it means you can spend more time working on what your application will do and less on bringing it to life in the first place. It also makes it very easy to change direction mid-way through development. For commercial coders there's the absence of run-time royalties, and its cross-platform abilities help you address larger audiences.
Resource for Real Studio developers
For some years ago some high profiled RS consultants decided to set up an organization for professional RS developers. The organization was named Association of Realbasic Professionals (ARBP). If You intend to be a professional RS developers then I recommend You to apply for a membership of ARBP. But please take some time to navigate around on their site and get an opinion of Yourself about it.
Third Party Addons
It exist a group of vendors that provides plug-ins and visual controls etc. for RS. I decided to list those vendors I have good experience from and who offers highly professional tools, controls and classes.
Do the skills and talent required in the IMO have anything to do with what is required for doing mathematical research professionally? Obviously the time constraints aren't similar in the real world and the competition solutions may have to do with arcane techniques and obscure theorems. Still, many contestants have been successful in their research too (T. Tao, G. Perelman...). Is this because success in the comp has brought motivation and recognition or are they just different from the rest of us?
A professional appraiser conducts the appraisal. They inspect the property, measures it, and takes note of its features. The appraiser will take pictures of the interior and exterior of the property and compare the home to the current real estate market. The appraiser looks for similar homes that sold recently to determine the property's fair market value.
A professional inspector performs a real estate inspection that determines the home's condition (not value). The inspector looks deeper into the home's structure, features, and inner workings to ensure it's a good real estate investment.
Having been programming in the BASIC language since 1975, I think it is time to explain what Basic is really all about, as well as what Basic is not about. Basic has been maligned for decades because of myths about what Basic is. Who better to explain what Basic is really all about than a programmer who has used it for decades and professionally. Follow along with me as I tell my story of how I learned about Basic, the different Basic languages I tried and what I have been able to accomplish over the years with Basic.
If it were not for Windows, Basic as a professional programming language would have likely continued to flourish and grow. Windows 1.0 threw a wrench into Basic and its future. Many a DOS Basic programmer would feel the pressure over time to convert their apps from DOS to Windows and the transition actually was too much for some. Even companies who manufactured programming languages would feel the pressure and some would fail at creating a Basic for Windows and some would succeed. There were two key reasons why moving from DOS to Windows was so challenging for Basic programmers. The first is that DOS usually was text based user interfaces (while some graphics did exist, each software program would have to define its own graphic engine so it was not easy). Windows was a change to a GUI environment which introduces event based programming. Windows was not object oriented back then and still procedural, but its code flow was significantly different because of Windows event (in API terms actually message based) style of coding. Windows simply put was confusing for programmers used to a strict linear procedural style of coding. There were attempts to create a Basic for Windows by a number of companies, but many just could not catch on because of the confusing nature of how Windows worked under the hood. DOS Basic programmers often would just get too confused by such tools and give up on them rather than spend the long time learning a totally new style of coding. You just could not port your DOS Basic app to a Windows Basic in short order. It would mean a total rewrite from scratch. Initially most apps for Windows were written in C (not C++). It was very challenging to write a Windows app. In time, Basic came to Windows but a number of DOS Basic programmers could not make the jump successfully. The Basic programming language community took a big hit because of Windows initially. So how did I fare?
Roger Meier's FreewareAbout MeMy name is Roger Meier, and I am NOT a professional programmer. Writing my own programs is a hobby that I picked up when I couldn't find any decent (if at all) freeware or shareware for certain tasks for which I wanted to use a computer.
I picked Xojo (formerly REALBasic) as my language of choice for several reaons, including its structure, its "object-orientedness", its capability to create executables for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux Platforms, and last but not least for its fairly large and helpful user community.
Over the years I've created a fair amount of small apps and tools for my self, and every once in while I end up with something that may be of general use. These are the applications that are posted on this website.
If you are a Xojo programmer or hobbyist like myself, I also host several open-source projects that you might be interested in.Visit my
