Guest Post: Xojo Networking by Eric Gibbon

Published October 28, 2014 by Xojo

Eric Gibbon has been a Xojo developer since 1999. When not heading up the Birmingham, UK Xojo User Group, you can find Eric at MacTasks.com where he offers consulting services and develops bespoke multi-platform multi-user databases for Mac, PC and the Web using Xojo.

Last year work wasn’t going so well, and I was feeling down. I had lost my “Xojo mojo”. As a freelance developer it can be hard to do everything you need to and it is easy to get bogged down. Sometimes you need a fresh injection of ideas and opinions, to see what other developers are doing and how they do it.

Xojo’s iOS Support and 64-bit

Published October 21, 2014 by Xojo

As you may have heard, Apple announced that as of February 1st, 2015, all new apps submitted to the iOS App Store must support 64-bit. It was already our intention to be in beta testing on 64-bit in that timeframe. However, our original plan was to support Linux first since more and more Linux servers now only support 64-bit. Instead, we will support iOS first followed by the x86 platforms.

How Vulnerable Is Google?

Published October 16, 2014 by Geoff Perlman

Google is by far the most popular search engine in the world with 71% of the market. While Google does many things, they make over 90% of their revenue from ads. In terms of revenue, that means that Google is a one-trick pony. If users switched en mass to another search engine, could Google’s ad revenue quickly dry up?

A World Without Borders, Well Maybe Just Dimensions…

Published October 13, 2014 by Geoff Perlman

In the mobile development world it’s common to support many devices, and therefore many screen sizes. Android devices come in a huge variety of sizes as do iPhones and iPads. Desktops and laptop sizes vary; but mobile is where you really notice the variety because they are so radically different.

Getting Xojo Running on 64bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Published October 3, 2014 by Xojo

As you probably know, we’re working hard on having the Xojo framework and IDE support 64bit. While this work is still in progress, there are more and more distributions mainly available as 64bit. If you can’t work and/or deploy on a 32bit distribution, you need to get the IDE or your Xojo apps working properly on a 64bit distribution.

Published September 15, 2014 by Xojo

Sometimes you need a feature that is not available directly from the Xojo framework. Responding to this need is what Declares are designed for: to get access to system native APIs. On OS X, you typically look at the Cocoa APIs. On Windows, the Win32 APIs. Finally on Linux, the GTK APIs.

6 years and still ticking…

Published September 10, 2014 by Norman Palardy

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.
