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.

Comments closedI’ve blogged about Virtual Machines before, but they are so useful with a multi-platform development tool such as Xojo that they are worth mentioning again. Read on to learn more about Virtual Machines, how to use them and your options when choosing one.
Comments closedA recent article on Computer Business Review asks “Why are developers giving mobile the cold shoulder?” The article cites the State of Mobility 2015 Global Developer Study by Progress (they do not provide a link to the study).
Perhaps the reason is because mobile developers have not yet tried to see how quickly you can create mobile iOS apps with Xojo?
