Objo Studio is a new development environment for building desktop and command line apps. It has a visual designer, a debugger, a compiler, and a modern BASIC-like language called O…

This looks neat. It uses Bob Nystrom's Wren language for scripting and has been in development for a few years.

Ignore the naysayers replying to this. I have no vested interest in Xojo except I’ve been coding with it and enjoying it since 2004.

It’s worth pointing out that this is a higher salary than most doctors make (below consultant level) in the UK.

I really recommend Xojo[1] (formally RealBasic). It’s like a modern VB6 but runs on macOS, Windows and many flavours of Linux. It has very polished drag and drop UI editor. I’ve be…

I’ve just started out with Flame and Flutter. As a newcomer to game development (but experienced in other genres of coding) I’ve found it great.

This looks great - well done. As a self taught pianist I’d like to give a shout out to Simply Piano (1). It’s an iPad app that can take you from absolute beginner to a fairly advan…

Take a look at Wren if you want a similar looking embeddable scripting language. It was created by Bob Nystrom (who now works in Dart). It’s a lovely language. [1]: https://wren.io…

Yeah they renamed it maybe 10 years ago (it’s pronounced Zo Joe). It’s a fast compiled BASIC like OOP language that runs natively on x86 and ARM.

I’ve been a happy user of Xojo (formally RealBasic) for about 20 years. It’s really powerful and free to use when getting started. I really like the all-in-one IDE and the ability …

That's not been my experience on a console since the Sega Megadrive. Whenever I find a couple of hours to play video games (working around kids, wife, etc) I inevitably have to spe…

I've been using Xojo ( https://xojo.com ) for about 15 years now to make cross-platform GUI apps. The language is similar to VB6 but it's been constantly updated. No affiliation, j…

What a great resource. I will certainly pick up the book when it’s out.

I wonder what impact this will have for developers using non-Apple development tools. For example, I'm a C# .NET Core developer using Visual Studio. I'm hoping that the architectur…

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately I've registered on about 6 different exchanges (including the ones mentioned) but all are pending verification. Looks like a lot of these ex…

I want to invest some money in Ripple but I'm nervous about the process of actually buying some. It seems overly complicated with many click-bait articles explaining how to do so. …

I cannot rate this book high enough. Anyone with an interest in how languages are implemented should read this. Bob has a fantastic writing style making it a pleasant read. Additio…

As a highly educated physician who voted for Brexit, I find your interpretation of the "Brexit movement" woefully incorrect. There are plenty of well informed, well read and intell…

Hoping this might provide a bit of inspiration for other non-DIY savvy programmers/nerds like myself. It's easier than you might think to build.
