calls it "the spiritual successor to Visual BASIC". Also on this date they released Xojo 2013 Release 1 which included an all-new user interface, full support for Cocoa on OS X, improved support for web applications, all new documentation and a new Introduction to Programming Using Xojo textbook that was designed for beginners to learn the fundamentals of object oriented programming. On Jthe company officially changed their name to Xojo, Inc.
The company announced Real Studio Web Edition, allowing developers to compile web applications without the knowledge of multiple web technologies. In 2010, to combat the perception that it was similar to the original BASIC, it was renamed Real Studio. In 2009, a migration assistant was launched to help move code from Visual Basic. In 2004 REAL software announced the "Made with REALbasic Showcase" program to highlight applications created with the product. The new IDE employed a redesigned user interface. The option to compile for Linux was added in 2005 and the integrated development environment (IDE) was ported to Windows and as a free public beta for Linux platforms. Prior to version 2, the Java target was dropped and later replaced with a Windows target and database support. The CrossBasic name was trademarked by another company, so the product was renamed REALbasic. A public beta was released in April 1996.
#XOJO 2015 MAC OS#
CrossBasic got its name from its ability to compile the same programming code for the classic Mac OS and the Java virtual machine (although the integrated development environment was Mac only). Objective-C, C++, or Java are complex by comparison and when you realize that Xojo allows you to develop one application and compile it for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux you begin to understand how cost effective this is.In 1997 FYI Software, founded by Geoff Perlman, bought CrossBasic, which had been marketed by its author Andrew Barry as a shareware product. Behind that lies a modern object oriented version of the BASIC programming language that is nothing like the BASIC of years ago. It's GUI builder allows for the quick building of the user interface. Xojo is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool. There are a couple of other options as well as an ODBC plug-in. Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server are high end options. Four that make good choices are SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL.
Most people opt for one of the free open source database systems. If there is a database involved with your application there may be a cost associated with that. Often, as is the case with popular database programs, we can write and deploy software for about what it costs just to license the software for 10 users.
#XOJO 2015 UPDATE#
There is no per seat cost or annual update cost. We have purchased the development software that allows us write the software that you deploy throughout your organization. Normally when buying software you have to purchase the licensing in the form of a downloaded file, DVD, or shrink wrapped box.
#XOJO 2015 FOR FREE#
Rapid Application Development: drag and drop interface building, object oriented programming, lots of plug-ins and classes available for free or purchase.Database Licensing: if your application requires a database there may be a cost associated with the licensing of the database depending on your choice of database.Licensing: we write the software so there is no software licensing involved.
