UltraUpdater 1.4.0 Now Available

It hadn’t been updated in a while, but UltraUpdater 1.4.0 is now available.  This all-RealBasic library adds auto-update capability to your Real Studio applications.  It can check an XML file on your server to see if a new version is available, show the changes and let the user download and run the installer.

It’s available here at RBDevZone:

UltraUpdater

The demo app shows you how it works.  Full source code is included with purchase.  Previous purchases can get this update for free.  Eventually, I’ll have a Real Studio Web Edition app to handle this, but for now if you purchased and want the new source code, please email me.

CodeVue Now Available

CodeVue 1.0, a code snippet manager for Real Studio, is now available in the Mac App Store .  It’s on sale now for the next two weeks for only $4.99!

Storm is now available

Storm is an object-relational mapping framework for your Real Studio projects that use SQLite (REALSQLDatabase).

Using an ORM such as Storm allows you to simplify your database applications. Benefits include:

  • Access your database without using SQL
  • Map classes to your database tables without writing any code
  • Simple syntax
  • Transaction management
  • Serialization and deserialization to XML
  • Optional SQL logging
  • Automatic processing of database schema updates

SQLVue Lite now available in the Mac App Store

SQLVue Lite is now available in the Mac App Store at the low price of free. The Lite version of SQLVue works exactly the same as SQLVue with one limitation: it cannot modify the database

With SQLVue Lite, you can view all your tables, views, data and even write SQL SELECT statements. It’s a great way to work with SQLite and REALSQLDatabase. And if you find you need to also modify your databases, you can purchase the full version for only $20.

Real Studio Training from VTC

I just realized I never posted any information about this. I recently created a 7 hour Real Studio video training course for the Virtual Training Company.

In this course, you’ll get an overview of Real Studio and then you’ll learn how to build a ToDo application for the desktop and then learn how to migrate it to web edition.

Order the training course using this link and we’ll get credit:

(You can choose to order a physical CD of the course or you can choose to watch it online.)

Bob Keeney had an interesting post this weekend where he details how he ended up using Real Studio. I loved it and thought I would share my story as well.
