What is Raspberry Pi?

The announcement at XDC 2015 of upcoming Xojo support for Raspberry Pi was greeted with enthusiastic applause. But after the keynote, I had several people come up to me and admit that they did not know what this Raspberry Pi is, so I thought I’d take a moment to give some background.

Preparing for a 64-bit World

Xojo already creates 64-bit apps for iOS. Soon, it will also create 64-bit apps for other platforms. I, for one, welcome our new 64-bit Overlords. After all, they’ll be bringing you increased performance and increased memory! Even better, there is not much you’ll have to do to create 64-bit versions of your existing Xojo apps.

UPDATE October 2015: Xojo Builds 64-bit Apps Now

Using Using

With Xojo 2015 Release 2, much of the new Xojo framework is now available for use in all project types. Because the new Xojo framework uses namespaces, you might want to take advantage of the Using command to help make your code easier to read and write.

But first, a brief aside about namespaces. The Xojo framework uses namespaces to provide better grouping of related features and to allow for classes with the same name to co-exist (Xojo.Core.Dictionary and Dictionary, for example). In fact, you can mix classic framework code and Xojo framework code together in the same method!
