Real Studio is a cross-platform software development environment. With it you can create desktop applications for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Additionally, you can create web applications that run on a wide variety of browsers. In this course, you'll learn about Real Studio, its history, and how it can help you create better software. Paul spends much of the course showing you how to build a practical, working application: ToDo. The ToDo application demonstrates how to design user interfaces, access databases, create object-oriented code, and create an application that works on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. After you've built the desktop version of ToDo, you'll learn how to migrate it to the web using Real Studio Web Edition. Make better software; learn Real Studio today by clicking on the links below!
Welcome to the Virtual Training Company's REAL Studio Course. I'm your instructor, Paul Lefebvre. To get started, I want to give you a brief overview of the objectives of this course. The first thing to understand is what is REAL Studio? Made by REAL Software, REAL Studio is a robust, powerful tool for creating cross-platform software applications. The first part of the course will give you an overview of the REAL Studio product line, its features, and examples of the types of applications that can be created with it. That's right. REAL Studio can take your source code and create native, compiled Desktop applications for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. As part of this course we will use REAL Studio to create a fully functional application that runs on all three of these platforms. REAL Studio is, itself, a single application that is called an Integrated Development Environment, or IDE for short. It is integrated because all the tools you need to create your software are all in this one application. From within the REAL Studio IDE you will design the User Interface of your application, write all the code, debug, and build your application. We will spend a fair amount of time learning about the IDE and its various editors. When writing code in REAL Studio you will use the REALbasic programming language. In fact, prior to 2010, REAL Studio was actually just called REALbasic. The REALbasic programming language is a modern compiled, object-oriented programming language that is quite similar to Visual Basic or Java. If you've created VBA macros in Microsoft Excel, you are already familiar with some of the syntax used by REALbasic. But REAL Studio is not just for Desktop applications. Recently added to REAL Studio is the ability to create Web applications. These applications use modern Web technology such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript in the Web Browser and run compiled REALbasic code on the Web Server. With REAL Studio, creating a Web application is as easy as creating a Desktop application. For the last part of this course we will create a Web version of our Desktop application.
