LogicalVue Software, Inc. was first formed in 2003 and primarily sold software products built using RealBasic. In 2007, I started doing consulting (also using RealBasic). During this time I had a separate full-time job, but in 2008, I had so much RealBasic consulting work that I had to leave my full-time job (as a .NET developer) to devote myself to it. I’ve been doing full-time RealBasic (now Real Studio) consulting since then.
But after four years, it’s time for another change.
Starting on February 1, 2012, I will be joining Real Software, the makers of Real Studio, as their Developer Evangelist. As the Developer Evangelist, I will be responsible for many things that relate to educating prospective and existing customers about the best ways to get the most out of Real Studio. Some of my specific responsibilities include:
- Documentation
- Tutorial and Training videos
- Webinars and Webcasts
- Podcasts
- Example Projects, Tutorials and Reference Applications
- Blogging
- Social web coverage
I am incredibly excited to be joining the Real Software team, who are a great bunch of folks. I first discovered Real Studio (RealBasic) back in 2001 after I had recently switched to Mac OS X. I was impressed with its object-oriented capabilities, database support and general approachability.
I’ve been a software developer for a long time (almost 20 years) and I’ve used many development environments in my career, including Advanced Revelation, PowerBuilder, Visual Studio, Eclipse, Visual Basic and others I’m sure I’m forgetting. Real Studio is easily my favorite; it is powerful, yet simple to use and downright fun.
I’d like to add, that even with this big change, LogicalVue Software will still be around. The apps that are in the Mac App Store (all made with Real Studio, I’m proud to say) will remain available and will continue to get updates, as will the software available here at LogicalVue.com and at RBDevZone.com.
I will even continue with Real Studio consulting, although only with my existing clients. I will not be taking on any new clients for the foreseeable future.
After all, in order to be the best Developer Evangelist I can be, I also need to remain a user of Real Studio.
To my fellow Real Studio developers: I would love to hear about how you use Real Studio. Consulting? Internal products? For fun? Something else? Tell me what you like, what you don’t like, what could be better. Tell me how I can help enable you to make better use of Real Studio. Tell me how you got started in programming. Whatever you want to say, I’d love to hear from you!
