MBS Plugins 17.2 Released
Monkeybread Software releases version 17.2 of the MBS plug-in for Xojo and Real Studio. The MBS plug-in comprises a collection of several plug-in parts which extend the Xojo (Real Studio) development environment with 2,400 classes featuring over 62,000 documented functions. The plugins support all three platforms Mac OS X, Windows and Linux with all project types desktop, web, and console including 64-bit and ARM targets.
Highlights on the 17.2 update:
new WinUserNotificationMBS classes to show user notifications on Windows 8 and newer. (For macOS there's the similar NSUserNotificationMBS class.) For CURL we have new methods to setup queries to Amazon Webservices and we provide an example for AWS S3 download and upload. Our plugin provides the authentication based on AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 for the queries, so you can easily integrate several amazon services. With new socket type functions, you can now let CURL connect to an IP and use the connection like any other socket with reading and writing data. CURL encapsulates all the IP protocols (IPv4 and IPv6), proxies and SSL options for you. Finally we allow you to use the system root certificates on macOS and Windows for SSL verification.
For DynaPDF we got new examples for PDF/A conversion and normalization. This includes new functions to replace missing fonts. New functions for printing allow you to specify more print options and let the plugin show print dialog to print directly to a printer.
The new JPEGMovieMBS class can create movies cross platform using JPEG image files. The resulting files can be played in QuickTime player and VLC.

Paradigma Software announces a major update to its visual database design and management product Valentina Studio. Valentina Studio Pro includes several key improvements, as well as two highly requested features: JavaScript automation and code generation.
The code generation feature enables Valentina Studio Pro to generate native programming code for interacting with Valentina objects. The first implementation is for use with Xojo Inc's Xojo cross platform development tool and even generates native Xojo projects in XML. Xojo was prioritized because of the currently available Omegabundle for Xojo 2017 (http://www.omegabundle.net), which includes Valentina Studio Pro.

Kem Tekinay of MacTechnologies Consulting is proud to release SQLBuilder_MTC, a free, open-source module to build and prepare SQL statements.
SQLBuilder_MTC is pure Xojo code that lets you construct a SQL statement naturally while it assists with syntax through auto-complete. Thanks to the innovative "Conditional Where" feature, you can easily construct a query that varies depending on the values given.
SQLBuilder_MTC also introduces intelligence to the process. Because it links values directly to clauses, it can do things like substitute IS NULL for = where the given value is nil, or let you provide multiple values either in sequence (ParamArray) or as an array.
An example of how it's used:
dim rs as RecordSet = SQLBuilder_MTC.SQLSelect( "" ).From( "person" ).CondWhere( firstName <> "", "first_name", "ILIKE", firstName ).CondWhere( lastName <> "", "last_name", "ILIKE", lastName ).Where( "ssn", ssn ).OrderBy( "last_name, first_name" ).Prepare( db ).SQLSelectSQLBuilder_MTC is database agnostic and will handle all binding and preparation for you.

Fonts on Mac OS-X are crisp, not blurred, a feature that was already present two years ago in Scintilla, but never showed in applications build with Xojo versions before 2016r4. On Windows it showed the font quality already, yet scaling on Windows could not be accomplished until Xojo 2016r4.

http://www.valentina-db.com Scripts Plugin 3.0
This version contains a novel class "Basic" with a different syntax (sample Basic files are included) compared to XojoScript/Xojo. It has the same functionality and capabilities, such as connecting it to a context. Basic can read multiple files using the keyword import. Sample projects will show how to implement interactive scripting with the Threadsafe class, with either XojoScript or Basic(Script). Interactive scripting requires a blocking thread in a Desktop application as is shown in sample projects, but not in a Console application, given that the Terminal waits for input in a while loop. More information is available once the plugin is installed in the Plugins Folder of Xojo. In the IDE, navigate to Help > Plugin References > Script. Note that many sample projects use the Lexing plugin, which is also available for downloading. Lexing is often as the Text Editor when dealing with programming code, but be assured Scripts plugin is not dependent on Lexing. These are free downloads, but if you plan to build applications with them, then get a license.

Examples in this book have been created and tested on Windows 10 and OSX El Capitan operating systems. This book is focused on 32-bit programming. Much of the code works with a timer to provide smooth graphics and animation. Below are a few videos of examples that are included in this book. These examples are currently 32-bit.
Examples include:
Many primitives (quads, triangles, etc.) Fundamentals of colours
Movement and rotation
Points
Starting a graph and chart
Beginning lighting
Lots of texturing
Blender models
Transparency
Camera viewing
An introductory understanding of threads
Collision detection
Xojo Blocks game
A first person viewer (no shooting)
...and more
There are over 550 pages with 23 chapters and more than 80 example programs with this book. This ebook is pdf formatted and all examples are included as Xojo code. It is assumed that you have an intermediate understanding of both Graphics programming and of the Xojo language.
Interested readers can find out more and purchase this book and many others at xDevLibrary (http://www.xdevlibrary.com) for instant delivery via GumRoad.

Clutch Identifies Xojo As Top Cross-Platform Development Tool
Clutch, a B2B ratings and reviews firm based in Washington, DC, has identified Xojo as a top cross-platform development tool. Their research findings were based on a number of factors, including breadth of platform features, ease of use, client reviews and market presence.
"People have always wanted faster ways to build software and that's why we created Xojo," commented Geoff Perlman, Founder and CEO of Xojo, Inc. "Our philosophy has always been to make development faster by offering native, cross-platform solutions. Xojo enables anyone to build for the platforms that are important to them by abstracting them from having to learn several languages."
"In the course of our research on the leading app development software products, we saw there was a real need for tools that could do more than simple app-builders, but weren't as complex as full-scale enterprise platforms," explained Chandler Dunklin, Research Analyst at Clutch. "We thought Xojo was a prime example of this kind of tool. This was confirmed by the client reviews we completed for Xojo that rated the platform a perfect 5 stars."

Storing all your code changes as you work, the use of ArchiveXojo removes some of the anxiety inherent in altering code. It is easy to "unravel" a bad decision.
ArchiveXojo is also a resource. All your old code from all your projects is available in one place for possible reuse in new projects. Refactoring old code and reusing old code is part and parcel of being a Xojo programmer. The ArchiveXojo database has all the tools of a database to find and grab bits of your previous work.

In addition, Snippery 1.2 also includes improvements for seven of previously existing features, and six bug fixes. For example, now it is possible to switch and copy the HTML rendering from the Preview Window.
Using Snippery you will save a lot of keystrokes and repetitive work thanks to the "Text Expander" feature! Define text templates, use placeholders, and "expand" them when you need to use them… typing only the text that really changes.
Write your snippets using Markdown syntax, apply style format, insert images, links, tables… and export them as PDF, Word, Pages, RTF or HTML files.
Preview your Snippets (with Markdown syntax, HTML or plain text) with a simple click of the mouse, switching from Preview Mode to Edition Mode on the Main Window… or use the dedicated Preview Window instead.
Save all your private and sensible data from prying eyes thanks to the strong Encryption feature! and, with the automatic Lock feature, all your snippets will be safe when Snippery detects no activity for the adjusted idle time; or force the Lock window with a simple keystroke every time you go away from your Mac!
Filter the listed snippets by the searching criteria you want: any, title, text, tags; for any of the included date presets (day, week, month and year) or by any date range you choose! Then Sort the matching results by creation date, modification date or title in ascending or descending order, and you are done!
