But it wasn't long before I was using Xojo to develop all sorts of things - including console apps, which was a big surprise to me. When I first started using Xojo in 2015, I was primarily interested in it for its (then somewhat new) support for developing iOS apps.

It 'clicked' with me, and by that, I mean the Xojo IDE, how projects were structured, the Xojo language, etc. And I was glad that I did, because it was Xojo that resonated with me in a way that no the other platform did. I even explored the SalesForce platform, and dabbled in things like ServiceNow.īut it was at the encouragement of my friend Hal Gumbert that I gave Xojo a try. I looked at all sorts of things, including LiveCode, Delphi, OutSystems, and more. I've written in the past about how, after I decided to stop doing FileMaker development work, I went in search of a new rapid application development platform to work with. It was the same amazement that I had experienced when I first started using Xojo back in August of 2015.Īm I back to marketing myself a Xojo Developer? No.ĭo I think that Xojo is 'out of the woods?' Not yet.īut I'm giving Xojo another try. I haven't used Xojo in well over a year, but was amazed at how quickly I was able to get a proof of concept built with it. It needed to run natively on macOS, and so I decided to try developing it with Xojo. Recently, I wanted to work on a personal project that I had been thinking about for awhile - a utility that would make doing NetSuite development work easier.
