Xojo

A good software to begin with

Kommentare: This software was of great use for me and I would certainly recommend it to people who want to start programming.

Vorteile:

It's the first software I used to begin programming. It is very easy to use and it helps beginners learn the basics of programming.

Nachteile:

You have to pay to be able to have the software you created for your own use.

Great for business development

Kommentare: It is a little strange at first, but then it becomes very productive, and it pays to learn from the ease of centralized multiplatform code. VB6 was the most productive thing so far, Xojo replaces it with praise, and it is a good escape option for those who have tired of the false promises that have revolved around VB.NET for years. In business, you need productivity + resources, not reinventing the wheel every 2 years, losing much of what you produced.

Vorteile:

It inherits a lot from VB6 and VB.NET, making it a quick turn to reuse old codes, giving a new look. It allows to compile for several platforms from the same source code. Minimalist tool, which simplifies use. Very productive!

Nachteile:

The autocomplete could be better, it is a little strange, on the web it does not generate code fully compatible with Edge, causing some bugs. Android option is missing. It is quite expensive.

Xojo was a great idea back in the day!

Kommentare: At first it was pretty good then they couldn't keep up with all the needed platform integrations. Google has a lot of people working on this very issue and it is still in the works not counting all the other on the outside of Google. I spent lots of money to develop one app and replaced it in a single day with web2py (a web based python framework. ) and yes it has database integration that works. It is the best I have seen.

Vorteile:

Cross platform. The code was Basic Like syntax! It was call RealBasic back in the day, yes I go back that far!

Nachteile:

No database integration, out of the box.

Xojo for cross-platform development is a winner!

Kommentare: For the most part, development with Xojo has been enjoyable, perhaps even fun! It's pretty cool to create something on a Windows dev machine and then recompile it for Mac and have it just work! It would be even more amazing if they could include an installer/packager for all supported platforms as part of the Xojo universe, but there are plenty of free installer systems out there.

Vorteile:

Xojo is a very approachable programming language and environment that allows me to create NATIVE applications that run on Windows, Mac, Linux and more while utilizing the same codebase. It has been a lifesaver for projects requiring rapid turnaround that must also be multi-platform, since I only have to code it (essentially) once. The fact that they also support web applications, mobile apps and even the Raspberry Pi is an added bonus!

Nachteile:

The development environment occasionally generates a fatal error for unknown reasons. To be fair, it might be related to my own computer/OS, but I have no way to be sure. Fortunately the latest version of Xojo seems to be more forgiving when this happens, and often it even recovers on its own when this happens to me.

Good for startup programmers or the curious

Kommentare: A straightforward programming program for those like me that are exploring programming, and with higher end functions for others.

Vorteile:

I bought this as part of a bundle inexpensively and have used it to explore programming, as someone how had never done anything in that line. It's relatively simple.

Nachteile:

I have not gotten deeply enough into it to have any problems, to date. For a novice like me, it's pretty straightforward.

A comprehensive easy-to-use alternative to coding native apps but still lacks scalability

Vorteile:

Xojo's drag-and-drop feature makes it a go-to application prototyping tool for us. Very intuitive & responsive. Other integrated must-have features like hash table, trouble shooting, & an excellent GUI make it a robust tool to develop applications across multiple platforms.

Nachteile:

Scalability of applications is the biggest downside to Xojo. Developing & deploying small-scale applications is Xojo's value but when using the platform to develop large-scale apps with a multitude of features, plug-ins, media, users and add-ons is vey difficult.

Great application for beginners

Kommentare: I've used it for one year and I loved it, but after trying to do bigger projects, it let me down, because it was so weak.

Vorteile:

Easy for starting to learn software developping for younger teenagers, we used this in my class, when I was in high school and it was great for learning.

Nachteile:

For more advanced projects, it isn't very powerful, so you have to use other programs.

Great for teaching students the fundamentals of coding

Kommentare: I recommend this for people trying to learn how to code as I think it's a great way to start coding.

Vorteile:

It's simple to use and very easy for beginners to learn how to code.

Nachteile:

It can't handle very big projects, but that's expected since it's used for beginners.
