June 15, 2020 – xDevLibrary is delighted to announce the release of a massive new book targeted at beginning Xojo users. The “Xojo Beginner’s Collection” is a 900-page ebook that gathers 17 years of xDev Magazine beginner columns into one volume.
Just about every issue of xDev Magazine has included a column called Beginner’s Corner. In that column we go in-depth on how to use a particular feature of Xojo, explore basic programming concepts, or give tips and instructions specifically geared toward beginners in programming or new to Xojo.
Some of the topics covered include:
- basic controls
- canvas
- computed properties
- contextual menus
- control arrays
- data structures
- dates
- dictionaries
- drag and drop
- encapsulation
- folderitems
- JSON
- loops
- OOP
- printing
- ProgressBar
- Refactoring
- Scope
- strings
- styled text
- Threads
- timers
- toolbars
- transparency
- typecasting
- unit testing
- windows
- XojoScript
- and much more!
We’ve gathered nearly two decades of those columns into a single book of over 900 pages and almost 100 demo projects. If you’re new to Xojo this is a terrific resource that goes into much more detail than the often-cryptic Xojo help files.
The ebook is in PDF, EPUB, and Mobi (Kindle) formats and can be purchased for $24.99 via GumRoad for instant delivery (http://gum.co/TERSK).
Note: This book is included as part of the 2020 Omegabundle, a terrific collection of top Xojo add-ons (http://www.omegabundle.net).
