Xojo Beginner's Guide brings together and reformats the compiled wisdom of developing Xojo applications.

Where it Started

xDev Magazine has been publishing for over 20 years and just about every issue 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. This updated Xojo Beginner's Guide adds 18 new columns worth of learning materials.

In all, you get two decades of those columns into a single book of over 1100 pages and over 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.
