Hi

Two questions:

  1. Are the creators of Xojo and official testers in the forums answering questions ?

  2. Do the creators ox Xojo come from VB6 ?

thanks
regards

  1. Yes

  2. Don’t think so

3

They started with Xojo under the name Realbasic in 1998. Long time ago.

4

Some of us do.

No, definitely not.

5

Not just the engineers, but the CEO also answers questions here. It’s actually quite remarkable.

6

I have gotten answers on the forums from just about every employee of Xojo if not every one of them. Some of them are more active than others.

7

scott boss, how do you know that every employee did answer to you. Do you know every employee? Is there a Xojo team link somewhere? I ask because I haven’t any idea of how many people work there.

8

over the years, I have spoken (email, voice, in person, etc) with them. Has it really been 100% of them? maybe not. If not, it is close, very close.

And there is no “here is the staff” page that I know of.

Over the years, we’ve met them all at Real World/XDC.

Hi Horacio,

As others have pointed out, yes we do. As for VB6, I didn’t come from it because I was a Mac user but I loved the idea of VB and wished that there was a VB-like development tool for the Mac. When I came across one, I created a business around it. I always wished for an easy yet powerful development tool that would allow me to create just about any kind of software I wanted without having to learn the details about every platform. That’s what we have tried to create with Xojo and that’s our path for the future as well.

Thats a shame actually, it would be nice if they did have one. Makes it even more personal.

12

You can spot their posts as they have “Xojo Inc” to the right of their name.

Their continued contribution to the forum is, for me, a big part of the appeal/advantage of Xojo.

13

You can always come to XDC 2015 and meet us all in person :slight_smile:

14

Yes, it would be kind. But I develop in my spare time and it’s a lot of money to cross the atlantic (I’m French).
What I read from Las Vegas last month looked nice.

On many forums, you click “Administrators” or “Moderators” etc. and you’ve got the list of the team. Here, we could also select all the English, all the French, etc. Not useful, but just to see.

15

that will depend on where it is. Austin</fingers crossed>

but yeah you get to meet Xojo at XDC. And they are a blast to hang out with.

16

New Orleans

I’d extend my time from 7 days to 10 for that location!

17

I would do New Orleans. The only reason I mentioned Austin is that is where the mothership is, err I mean headquarters. I know Xojo has gone virtual but that is where the “on paper” headquarters are. And it is a fun town.

If they ever did Boston I might go as I would not need to pay for travel (except for parking) and lodging. That said, at that time of year the weather is usually not great here, so I don’t expect it would happen. It’s also fairly expensive here- at least in the city itself.

19

It will never be in Boston, or NYC, or any other union-controlled city.

My sister live in Boston. She’s at the airport now, she’s coming to France to see us (family and friends). I went to USA 25 years ago, maybe one day I will go there to see her. If it’s the same date of Xojo …

Ah, Kim just posted it will never be there.

Edit : What is “union-controlled city” ?
