Bootstrap is the toolkit the Xojo Web framework uses to create the UI controls for your web projects. Bootstrap continues to improve and as a result we are working to upgrade the Web framework to the latest version. We are currently planning to ship this updated Web framework in Xojo 2023r2.

In this blog post I’ll show how to add rate limiting to your web application. Rate limiting is used to frustrate abuse of your application by limiting access. The same technique can be used to limit access to your API server by recording the user’s ID instead of IP Address.
Comments closedThere are situations where the included controls and widgets aren’t enough. Maybe the specs of the project require the use of one or more of specific JavaScript libraries, or you just need some code to be executed in the browser. The Web SDK can help, giving you the opportunity to build anything. In 2022r4 we are adding more examples, to help you start building your custom controls.

Does anyone else feel like 2022 is the first year in many years where we have gotten back together, in-person, for big events, small get-togethers, travel and even the daily office grind? Whether that is the right thing to have done or not, it seems that is what many of us did in 2022.

Comments closedWe’re happy to add Sydney, Australia to the worldwide locations of Xojo Cloud servers. That makes nine cities that you can host your Xojo Cloud web apps in. Offering worldwide coverage for Xojo Cloud makes it easier to get your Xojo web applications close to the users that are using them, improving the speed and overall experience for your users.

In November of 2018, Jérémie Leroy had the idea of making a Secret Santa iOS app. 3 years, 32 languages and 6.5 millions downloads later, Jérémie incorporated Xojo Web to improve his highly successful Xojo iOS app. Secret Santa is a prime example of what is possible and how you can leverage your Xojo skills to expand to other platforms when you need to.

Comments closedI was having some fun with badges, trying to recreate a design. I’ve ended up writing a few extension methods to use them on almost any WebUIControl.
Comments closedWhile we do our best to write software that “just works”, bugs happen. Xojo 2022r3 includes 60 bug fixes just for the Web Framework. Twenty-six of them were fixed during the Bug Bash event. Eight Feature Requests were also included in Xojo Web 2022r3. We’ve been very careful and tried to pick those on the border line between being a bug or a feature.
