Christians presentation is a few seconds over 30 minutes! At least Christian never fails to disappoint and always delivers!

In a normal conference, we would probably do longer and show a few example projects and answer questions.
grab my how to
its dated but walks you through Xcode
I nominate Christian to make a competing IDE/toolchain using the python language.
or maybe using a good language 
python is great for some stuff but as an x-platform language with UIās not fantastic
Agreed. Thatās what Iād like to see Christian bring to the table. I think they call this the ābig askā
Iām not married to python necessarily but I do use it for a lot of data science stuff so itās always nice to have a consistent language across tasks. Obviously I know Xojo too and still use it for some small desktop apps. Python is better though.
Sorry folks, I am busy enough making plugins.
ā¦ judging by XDC 
you might need a plan B sooner than youād like ā¦
They should have a whole course aabout this topic with in deep topics. A simplistic example is not that useful.
So, you didnt saw the first ios versions, compaared to that, they do have a lot to brag. Hey look, this is not raw, just half baked.

The silence on TOF is deafeningā¦

conversations about the presentations so far have been limited
TBH I think wāve discussed things more here
Theres such a limited audience a whole session might not be that useful
But some āhow to guidesā, like the one I posted about earlier that I created while I worked there, would be hugely welcome
William does spin through that pretty quickly though
Ok playing devilās advocate, this is their first time doing a digital event. And probably their last. They have things to learn, and I donāt think any of their staff has done something like this before. I think itās worth cutting them some slack.

Sure. If an event like this had NEVER EVER been done by anyone ever before and they are the first to ever do it
But you and I both know thatās not the case
There are tons of examples of doing this around - APple, MS, and lots of smaller companies like LiveCode have done these
There ARE examples to draw from to see what things worked, and worked well. And what didnāt.
Like you thought I donāt expect theyāll do this kind of event this way again
Itās the content, not the medium.

Replicating the success of others is easier said than done. Theyāre just people trying to make the best of a bad situation.

Thatās just another excuse. If devs were interested theyād be engaged. Xojo has been pushing devs away at every opportunity. And now others are complaining and learning no matter what you say Xojo will just ignore it. Eventually they run out of devs that care.
Fix the bugs and slow bug creation. Thatās what folks want.

Iād tend to agree
Having to cancel the conference does require shifting gears
Making the sessions live might have mitigated the crickets there are on TOF in the various threads
Dunno
But that wouldnāt have been hard to TRY
Not trying is worse than trying & failing

Iām sort of glad I donāt have the Briefs blog around any more. Iād feel obligated write up something about this sh*t.
What a PR disaster.

I agree with @thommcgrath and I agree with those who disagree with him.
Holy molyā¦ I had to go back and double check.
There appears to be more discussion here about the XDC event than TOFā¦ Albeit most of it here, is highly critical and considering that most here, feel burned by Xojo, that is to be expected. Kinda shows you which audience is interested in this kind of eventā¦
