Excerpt of article text...

The first thing I noticed on Thursday when I woke up and looked outside was that my hotel room in Andernach, Germany, had a view of a castle (see Figure 1)! I hadn't seen that the night before, of course, so it was quite the sight.

A few minutes later I was seeing old Xojo friends and meeting some new people. After breakfast, Christian Schmitz (see Figure 2) kicked things off with a welcome (see Figure 3). I hadn't realized it had been five years since the last MBS conference. This one wasn't huge, but there were 42 people from 14 countries, which isn't bad. I had the honor of coming the farthest, from the West coast of the USA.

Geoff Speaks

Xojo President Geoff Perlman gave his keynote address (see Figure 4). After an introductory joke about how we could relax as he wasn't going to announce a name change or a new API, he recapped all of the Xojo achievements of the past year. There were over 580 bugs fixed and 132 new features, including Android, Chart control for desktop, desktopXAMLContainer, dark mode for Web, PDFViewer for iOS, zip/unzip support, and many optimizations to the IDE.

Some improvements were simple, like making the Xojo examples searchable right from the dialog box, but have an impact on productivity.
