Excerpt of article text...

For this issue, I had the opportunity to interview Anthony Cyphers, the developer of GraffitiSuite, Xojo MVP, and a well-known member of the Xojo community.

Your Background

When did you first become interested in software development?

At the age of 10 or 11, I stumbled upon QuickBASIC on a school computer. I had no idea what I was doing at first, but I muddled through and figured it out. My computer teacher at the time noticed and found me a second-hand book from somewhere. She encouraged me to learn, even giving me notes to skip some classes just to mess around in QB. I wrote my first line of code for pay at age 13, was forever hooked, and knew what I would most likely be doing for the rest of my life at that point.

When and how did you discover Xojo?

It was 2002. I was doing VB6 development work for a computer support company, and we started picking up more Apple users who, obviously, couldn't use our software. I needed a solution and found it with REALbasic. I was able to quickly prototype one of our apps in RB, and the rest is history.
