6 years and still ticking…

Hard to believe that this year marked my 6th anniversary with Xojo.

I’ve seen a ton of changes over those 6 years – never mind what I’ve seen happen in the 15+ years I’ve been using the product. I’ve been using it literally since before version 1.0 came out since I was on the list for all the developer previews way back when.

Spread the Word, Grow the Community

A bigger community is always beneficial to its members. More Xojo users lead to more ideas, more discussions and more resources for everyone.

XDC Sessions

XDC, the Xojo Developer Conference, is less than 6 months away! The conference will take place March 26-28, 2014 at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world! Planning is in full gear – we just closed the call for speakers and will announce the final session schedule later this month. We received more submissions than we could ever present in a single conference, which is extremely exciting and surely indicative that this will be the biggest XDC yet! Over the next few weeks we at Xojo have a big challenge selecting the best sessions from these submissions, but the result will surely be a terrific XDC!

Do you need to run a Xojo Application on Windows with Elevated UAC? Here’s Wayne’s trick to achieve that goal.
