![]() ![]() I remember my carefully coded XCode app being rejected because I used a button style that looked too close to the “Answer Call” button on the iPhone app. Then there was the process of getting your app in the app store, the signing, etc. Objective C in my opinion was kind of a train wreck syntactically at least. While I’d done XCode and released several apps in years past to the store I found it tedious and difficult to work in. I love Macs and wanted a way to do Mac code. NET which is great and cool but totally Windows only. I don’t own my own business but I do side contracting. I found Xojo back in the RealBasic days and licensed up actually paying for it several times and had no real apps to show for it. I hope to see XoJo continue to be successful as well as all the great people here! And I know that there are many things we’d like to see XoJo add, improve, etc., but it’s a powerful tool that is certainly enjoyable to use. This group has been awesome in helping with the bumps along the way. I’ve been having a blast dusting off my skills and targeting each system! In 2021 I wanted to get back to it and XoJo definitely had me sold being able to code once and build for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Needless to say, my programming skills became very rusty. At some point, I’d heard about Real Basic, but timing wasn’t right. When I moved most of my personal computing activities at home to Apple Macs in about 2006, I slowed down programming for personal use because I didn’t want to deal with Apple way of doing things vs. I did a lot of programming in the past in various languages for both personal and work. I’m really enjoying XoJo as well and looking forward to using it in 2022 and beyond! I’m looking forward to 2022 and can’t wait to see what improvements Xojo release this year.ĮDIT: this year is likely to see me make the switch to Web 2.0 Since then a majority of my projects have been web based with a more recent focus more desktop heavy. My first Xojo app was a web based ticketing support app for an IT MSP, followed by porting some VB. Sadly I’ve moved away from Xojo for mobile but with 2022 looking like support for building Android apps I will be released this year I may be back. I’ve since switched Linux desktop development to the current release. I’ve made heavy usage of the 2018r3 release still creating and maintaining Web 1.0 applications in that release. In the last couple of years I have since switched to Linux. net Web applications too), across to Mac back in 2014. net to build Windows applications and then with. My move to Xojo was a result of switching from Windows (where I’d been using VB6 and then VB. It’s great to hear positive stories like this. ![]() I’d love to hear some of your successes with Xojo over the years past! I’m building my story now and I can’t wait for New Years next year when I can share the story of 2022 with you guys! So please share your stories and have a wonderful new years! ![]() You guys will be seeing me around on the forum and I am excited to I feel good about where this is going and I look forward to a wonderful 2022 year. Well needless to say, I’ve been writing my app/service and it’s coming along quite nicely thanks to the help of this forum and all the wonderful videos out there on how to do things in Xojo that has really made it easy for me to catch on. I hated that I didn’t do anything at all in Xojo for the first year I was licensed but figured, no worries, I’ll go ahead and renew and support Xojo for another year and this time I will re-write this app and get this thing launched for 2022. November 2021, and it’s time to renew my license. ![]() Owning and running my IT MSP business in my local area, I just got crazy busy and didn’t find the time to even start my re-write in Xojo. After reading more about Xojo and what it could do, I went ahead and licensed up because I was going to re-write the whole service in Xojo so that I would be able to launch on ALL platforms. Somehow, and I wish I could remember how I came across Xojo, but I did. I had a MacBook, and I had XCode and I started learning swift so that I could release my app for MacOS and iOS, but then I would have to figure out how to write for Android as well. NET and actually had built quite a bit of it, from the windows desktop app, then writing a Laravel/php web api backend, but with this service I wanted to also be available on mac, along with writing mobile apps as well. I downloaded it, tried it out and figured I’d give it a shot… Didn’t really do much with it because I was busy with other things going on in my business. I found Xojo late in 2020, around November. I feel like 2022 is going to be the year that I crank out some amazing software thanks to Xojo!! I’m so excited for Xojo and this year! As a developer for almost 35 years, it’s been a long time since I have been bit by the programmers bug like this. ![]()
