Comments closedIn the world of software development, efficiency is a central aspect. This is especially true for applications developed in Xojo. Excessive overhead can significantly impair performance and negatively affect the user experience. In this article, we will take a detailed look at what overhead is, how to identify it, and what techniques, tips, and tricks can be used to minimize it. We will particularly focus on using code profiling.
Comments closedClean coding is a vital aspect of software development that ensures code readability, maintainability, and scalability. In the context of Xojo, adhering to clean coding principles can significantly enhance the quality and longevity of your projects. In this blog post, we’ll explore key practices for clean coding in Xojo, including the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches, with detailed examples and explanations.
Comments closedIn software development, efficiency and user experience are paramount. One powerful technique that can help achieve both is the use of type casting combined with iteration. By iterating through controls and casting them to specific types, developers can dynamically manipulate user interface elements, resulting in more responsive and interactive applications. In this article, we will explore the concepts of type casting and iteration within Xojo applications. We will break down a practical example to demonstrate how these techniques can be used to optimize form handling and enhance user interactions.
