Read MoreRBDevZone Redux
If you haven’t checked out RBDevZone, the community site for REALbasic developers, in a while then I encourage you to do so. In the last week it has been completely redesigned. I guess you could say it’s RBDevZone 2.0! I switched it from DotNetNuke to WordPress and I also switched hosting providers from WebSecureStores to FatCow. The result is that it’s much faster now and I...

From his blog posting: The goal is to collect documentation of the language and framework that goes beyond what Real...

It was first written by Erick Tejkowski (author of REALbasic for Dummies) and then by Seth Willits. But ResExcellence is now more and these great articles and sample code was lost. Until now. I have received permission from both Erick Tejkowski and...
