Well, WWDC 2025 came and went and was appropriately boring. Apple played it safe, which was for the best after last year's fiasco. Hopefully, they can get back to underpromising and overdelivering.

Meanwhile, on the home front, I rebuilt my campervan (see page 6) and hope to go on some adventures this summer. In other news, we're transitioning my mom to a care facility next month. It should be better in the long run, but it's a transition right now, and moving at any age is a hassle.

In This Issue

If you didn't follow WWDC 2025, I have some thoughts on what transpired and what it means for the future.

Building on last issue's Image Tagger using AI, I created a new app that lets you upload several kinds of documents to ChatGPT and have it analyze them. You can have it extract data from a PDF or text file, have it summarize the contents, or explain it in more detail. You can even send it Xojo code or have it generate Xojo code! (Don't get too excited. ChatGPT doesn't create the best Xojo code.) The possibilities are endless.

Did you know that the Xojo IDE can now run on a Raspberry Pi? Eugene explains the steps to install Xojo.

In our columns, Tim has an interview with multitalented Xojo developer Christian Wheel, Stefanie continues her Pong-like "tennis" game in Xojo, Paul writes about XAML, and I detail a problem where unit testing would have saved me a lot of hassle. Enjoy!
