Clutch Identifies Xojo As Top Cross-Platform Development Tool
Clutch, a B2B ratings and reviews firm based in Washington, DC, has identified Xojo as a top cross-platform development tool. Their research findings were based on a number of factors, including breadth of platform features, ease of use, client reviews and market presence.
"People have always wanted faster ways to build software and that's why we created Xojo," commented Geoff Perlman, Founder and CEO of Xojo, Inc. "Our philosophy has always been to make development faster by offering native, cross-platform solutions. Xojo enables anyone to build for the platforms that are important to them by abstracting them from having to learn several languages."
"In the course of our research on the leading app development software products, we saw there was a real need for tools that could do more than simple app-builders, but weren't as complex as full-scale enterprise platforms," explained Chandler Dunklin, Research Analyst at Clutch. "We thought Xojo was a prime example of this kind of tool. This was confirmed by the client reviews we completed for Xojo that rated the platform a perfect 5 stars."

MBS Plugins 16.4 Released
Monkeybread Software releases version 16.4 of the MBS plug-in for Xojo and Real Studio. The MBS plug-in comprises a collection of several plug-in parts which extend the Xojo (Real Studio) development environment with 2,300 classes featuring over 59,000 documented functions. Our plugins support all three platforms Mac OS X, Windows and Linux with all project types desktop, web and console including 64-bit and ARM targets.
Some of the highlights on the 16.4 update:
With our new plugin version we add a class to use the camera of a Raspberry Pi for capturing images. You can enumerate devices, connect to one, select various options, capture pictures or get a preview image. If you have a similar camera on a desktop linux, you can of course use the same class there.
This release improves a lot of linux classes. The DirectorySizeMBS class now fully supports linux to quickly check the size of a directory. The module for extended attributes now works on Linux as well as the SystemInformationMBS.MACAddressMBS function.
If you need to securly create password hashes, we recommend checking the new Argon2MBS class. Argon2 is a price winning key derivation function which you can now use to generate encryption keys.
For our SQL Plugin, the internal SQLite library now allows you to run the same commands as the SQLite shell tool. Use this to benefit from various import and export functions there. For SQLValueMBS class, we added new properties to easier read/write blob values. You can now stream them from/to folderitem or streams. You can set a BLOB from memoryblock directly without converting to a string, from a variant as well as all parameters in a SQLCommandMBS from a dictionary. Our SQLite3MBS can now load extensions directly. For prepared statements, the BindType function is now optional.
On Windows we can now read/write/delete file streams. So beside some data your files can have additional metadata which your app can use, e.g. to store backup state. Our LargeBinaryStreamMBS class can now handles long file paths better. And our windows list class can now enumerate child windows.
We added a new WebKit 2 control for Mac. This allows you to have one HTMLViewer replacement which dynamically switches between WebKit 1 (32-bit) and WebKit 2 (64-bit) depending of the host application.
With the new MBS.Has*Plugin constants, you can write conditional code which uses plugin functions only if the plugin is installed. This helps for bigger source code libraries.
We got new CRC, more GraphicsMagick and a new SplitMBS function. Our MemoryStorageMBS class helps to break 32-bit memory limits. We improved several Cocoa related classes including NSLayoutManagerMBS, NSURLRequestMBS and NSFontManagerMBS
Finally we updated LCMS 2 to version 2.8, OpenSSL to 1.0.2i, SQLite to 3.14.2 and DynaPDF to 4.0.3.9. The UniKey plugin now uses 6.5 SDK and supports 32 and 64bit targets on Mac, Windows and Linux including ARM.

ArchiveXojo
ArchiveXojo is the composite of several things. It is a version control system. It is a project documentation tool. It is a central code repository making it easy to find and reuse code created in any of your Xojo projects.
ArchiveXojo stores code, as it is being developed, into an independent text file. At intervals, you can bring the content of this text file into the ArchiveXojo database.
Storing all your code changes as you work, the use of ArchiveXojo removes some of the anxiety inherent in altering code. It is easy to "unravel" a bad decision.
ArchiveXojo is also a resource. All your old code from all your projects is available in one place for possible reuse in new projects. Refactoring old code and reusing old code is part and parcel of being a Xojo programmer. The ArchiveXojo database has all the tools of a database to find and grab bits of your previous work.

xDev Magazine Launches xDevLibrary
xDev Magazine is delighted to announce the re-launch of RBLibrary as xDevLibrary, following the purchase of the classic a la carte article site in April.
xDevLibrary gives Xojo developers a way to instantly purchase terrific books, tutorials, how-tos, and other programming articles from top Xojo writers. Currently the site contains mainly the same content as the former RBLibrary, but xDev is committed to enhancing existing products, as well as regularly adding new content, including articles from past issues of xDev Magazine.
With that in mind, the site is launching with with a brand new book from Eugene Dakin: "I Wish I Knew How to... Program Raspberry Pi 2 B Electronics with Xojo." This fantastic 380+ page book will guide you in using Xojo to program your Raspberry Pi motherboard and includes examples such as ultrasonic distance, LCD words, graphics, and custom glyphs, infrared sensors, photo and video recording, servos, LEDs, infrared receivers, and more.
Marc Zeedar, the publisher of xDev Magazine, feels that xDevLibrary is a great complement to the resources already offered by his publication. "Now we can offer the best of both worlds: the value of a subscription-based service and the instant purchasing of individual articles and books."
Former RBLibrary owner Norman Palardy is also excited about the transition to the new site. "xDev has been providing REALbasic users with learning resources for over 14 years and we're pleased to see them continue their commitment to the Xojo community."
xDevLibrary is re-launching with a simple one-page design, but a more elaborate design is planned for the long-term. Feedback and suggestions as to what readers would like to see is encouraged!

RubberViewsWE for Xojo Web Edition,
Match software announces the immediate availability of RubberViewsWE for Xojo Web Edition, the best tool available for multi-resolution, multi-orientation web apps.
RubberViewsWE is a unique class that you place on a WebPage, a WebDialog or a WebContainer, and it manages automatically the layout for all available devices, sizes and resolutions.
Design your WebPage at the size you like best, RubberViewsWE does the rest. Very easy to use, this class is the result of intense development, with exclusive features that are the result of the most recent research.
RubberViewsWE not only adapts the layout to any size, but it changes the content of controls to match. Like the popular Desktop RubberViews class, it fits the size of pictures in WebImageViews, and can adapt the size of fonts to the size of the browser window. WebDialogs and WebCanvases are also supported.
Auto Layout is a new, exclusive feature that no class of its kind has ever had before ! Yes, the powerful way of organizing layout until now available only in Xojo iOS, is now implemented for Web Edition applications. Instead of being properties of each control, constraints are entered in lists, with the same kind of syntax used for Xojo iOS. Users familiar with Xojo iOS will feel right at home.

ElastiControls
ElastiControls was developed as part of the original XTeTiC package and allows controls to automatically resize in proportion to the window on which they reside. The classes were developed in response to Pariahware no longer maintaining the "Elastic Windows" classes. ElastiControls supports all native and custom controls and ContainerControls with or without child controls. At a fraction the price of the original Elastic Windows classes, ElastiControls has been separated from the XTeTiC package to provide developers a cheap, just-as-efficient, replacement to the no-longer-supported Elastic Windows classes.
Using ElastiControls is literally a 3-step, one-line of code setup process, that can take under a minute to integrate into any project! Drop an instance of ElastiControls on a window or within a ContainerControl, initialize the class in the window/ContainerControl's Open event, and invoke the Resize() method in the window/ContainerControl's Resizing/Resized event. Nothing more is needed!

I Wish I Knew How to...Program Plugins with Xojo on Windows has been completely rewritten
The first version of this book was an introduction and is out-of-date. This new version contains many examples with the fundamentals, Module, Classes, and Controls. The new packaging of xojo_plugins are shown and the older rbx extensions should no-longer be created.
This version also uses the free community edition of Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 to create the dll plugins for the Xojo programming language.
This is an intermediate level book for those who are already familiar with the Xojo programming language and have a fundamental Visual Studio C/C++ programming understanding--this book is not recommended for beginners.
The book is written as a guide and reference to Xojo programmers who program desktop applications in the Windows Operating System. Dynamic Link Libraries (dll) are created with Visual Studio to allow extra functionality in Xojo.
There are 8 chapters with over 300 pages and 27 example programs. Examples include creating a manual plugin, using prebuilt templates, class constants, modules, controls, events, and more. Many screen grabs have been added to show the results of code with a helpful index to find topics quickly.

Light Blue 5.5
Industry favorite Light Blue, business management software designed specifically for photographers, has launched a new online contract signing service to help make business admin that much more simple.
Already praised by the trade press and photographers around the world for being powerful yet really easy to use, Light Blue brings together shoot management, marketing and finances, all in one program. Light Blue is desktop software that runs on a Mac or PC, but most photographers also take advantage of the optional online services, which include syncing data between computers, the ability to link the forms on photographers' websites to their Light Blue accounts, and free upgrades.
The new release is an addition to Light Blue Software's online services. Everyone who's subscribed will be able to send contracts to their clients, and receive an electronically signed copy back from them. This will speed up the booking process by saving photographers from needing to post or email a contract to their client and wait for it to be signed and posted back. As part of the contract signing process, photographers can also give clients a choice of quotes, and charge a booking fee, which can be paid online by card or PayPal.
Tom Catchesides, Light Blue founder, says the new service has been very well received during pre-release testing. "As a photographer, it's important you have a proper contract with your clients, but when a client tells you that they want to confirm a booking you want to make the process as quick and painless as possible," he says. "We've designed the online contract signing services in Light Blue to be powerful, but really simple to use, so once you've got a template set up you send your contract out to them in just a few clicks. It's all part of our commitment to building really useful software that'll help streamline business admin and let photographers spend more time out taking pictures."
Beta tester Rob Pugh explains why he likes the new features: "The contract signing services are simply amazing! Normally, it'd take seven days for me to post a contract to my customer, for them to read and sign it, and then post it back to me with a cheque, which I'd then have to bank, but the whole process now takes less than a day. It's going to save me so much time, as well as money on the postage costs!"
