Welcome
The May/June (11.3) issue of Real Studio Developer is now available!
Here's a quick preview of what's inside!
News from XDC by Marc Zeedar
This year's Real World conference was actually the Xojo Developer's Conference (XDC). We learned that tons of changes are coming this June, the biggest being that Real Studio will be called Xojo (pronounced Zoh-joe).
Adventures in Florida by Marc Zeedar
If you couldn't make it to this year's developer conference, you sure missed out! But never fear: Marc gives you a behind-the-scenes tour, so it's almost like you were there (except you don't get to eat the steak and crab legs).
Welcome to Xojo by Marc Zeedar
Curious about the upcoming version of Real Studio (now called Xojo)? Marc played with the beta release and explains all the changes.
Xojo and iOS by Marc Zeedar
We can't create iOS apps with Xojo quite yet, but we're getting closer. Learn all the details about what Xojo's iOS support will be like.
In our regular columns we've got articles on the resources of example projects, deploying with Xojo Cloud, SQL Tables, and much more. Enjoy!
