You'll start with an introduction to the fundamentals of the language, while also reviewing the basic programming principles a beginner will need to get started. This will help when moving on to controlling hardware such as lights, motors, LCD screens and sensors, using a Raspberry Pi. Later in the book, you'll study the more technical and advanced principles of Xojo, such as error handling, debugging, user interface design, mobile development and more. Experienced developers can jump in here and pick up the skills quickly. You'll also work with databases, REST APIs, XML and other data sources.
Xojo’s successes is proven, with over 100,000 users including a large, active online community. Xojo Unleashed will show you why the language provides more and more users the ability to write code quickly across platforms.
What You'll Learn
Build fully responsive web applications.
Develop and deploy mobile applications
Work with networking protocols to create client/server applications
Write code that works over multiple platforms
Who This Book Is For
Novice programmers, students and software engineers of all disciplines looking to write cross-platform code; professional developers looking to build applications written for embedded user; hobbyist programmers looking to build any utilities, apps and "quick hacks" to control various devices via Raspberry's GPIO.
