I was up hours later than I should have been last night reading The Martian when, after discussing in detail how to hack some really old software in some really old equipment located about 54.6 million kilometers away, I read this line: “âJesus, what a complicated process,â Venkat said. âTry updating a Linux server sometime,â Jack said.”
And my first thought was, “Oh!, that’s why we offer Xojo Cloud!”
Comments closedPasswords are a problem, as we frequently see in the news when databases containing password and login information are hacked and exposed.
Though too much security is never enough, as developers, there are things we can do to keep our users’ passwords secure.
Comments closedThese days, businesses need to adapt to changes quickly and they need their software to do the same. They need it developed and updated in less and less time. This speed and adaptability is key to what Rapid Application Development tools offer developers.
Comments closedThe issue of mobile ads is of particular interest to me as I am forced to think of mobile ads from three different perspectives. First, as a developer since Xojo can be used to create iOS apps; then as an entrepreneur because we advertise Xojo via mobile ads; but also as a personal consumer of mobile ads.
I think I’m on firm ground when I say that mobile ads are universally hated. We hate them more that TV commercials and certainly more than magazine ads. Why is this?
Comments closedOn the Internet, everyone loves cats. Using HTTPSocket and The Cat REST API, Xojo makes it easy for you to get the cat pictures you need to brighten your day. Read on to learn how to make everyday Caturday…and for more cat puns.
Comments closedWhen I was a kid, computers were responsible for almost nothing, at least in my daily life. Big companies used computers to run their accounting departments and NASA used them for analysis, but most peoples’ daily lives were unaffected by the existence of computers.
Comments closedSince we are all good programmers we never make mistakes, right ? 🙂
But for those times when you write some code and you just can’t figure out why its not behaving, there is always the Debugger!
The best part is the Debugger is very easy to use and it can help you sort out a lot of common issues. Its covered in the Xojo User’s Guide, specifically see the Using the Debugger section.
Comments closedSince we make a popular cross-platform development tool, I’m often asked “what type of computer should I get for cross-platform development”?
You might think that can be a tricky question to answer because they are so many different types of computers. But there is only one computer that can run the three major operating systems without violating a EULA: a Mac.
Comments closedThis post was updated in March 2023 in Testing REST-based Web Services.
Communicating with web services is fun and easy with Xojo. But sometimes it’s not so easy to test the actual REST API calls. As part of preparing materials for the HTTPSocket webinar, I created a simple app in Xojo that lets you test REST APIs. I call it RESTy.
