REALbasic Resources
REALbasic is an object-oriented rapid application development
system from Real Software.
Here are a few handy references and tools to help out RB developers:

Socket ReadMe
|
|
Great
intro to networking with RB sockets, by Aaron Ballman of Real
Software. A version of this is supplied with REALbasic; I've
reformatted it here for easier browsing.
|
| |
My First Socket
|
|
I
couldn't find a nice simple demo project that would let me exercise
the TCPSocket interface directly, and watch socket operations
as they occurred, both on my computer and on different computers.
So I made this one.
Recommended for anyone starting out with sockets. Be sure to
read the short Note in the Application class to get the lay
of the land. (12 KB StuffIt download; RB 5.0 or higher required.
Updated 7/6/2005 to work around a "103 error" bug in RB 5.2 and
higher.)

3D ReadMe

Various
FAQs, gotchas, tips, and tricks to help you over some of REALbasic's
3D hurdles. (Note: This is not the same as Joe
Strout's 3D FAQ.)
|
| |
SceneBench
|
|
Explore
REALbasic's 3D API with unprecedented ease using this drag and
drop 3D scene editor, which doubles as a handy 3DMF model viewer.
|

Meshwork
|
|
Joe
Strout's nice, cheap, low-polygon, shareware modeler outputs
(among other things) in 3DMF, which is what RB3D likes.

Meshwork
Tutorials
|
|
Jeff
Quan's tutorials on masking and pinned texture mapping are a
must for Meshwork users.

RB
Sauce
|
|
(Under construction!) A
neatly presented, to-the-point collection of common REALbasic
speed bumps, and how to get over them. Neither an endless bug
list nor a "how to program" tutorial, it's the only
resource of its kind. Less "D'oh!", more "Ohh..."
|
| |
UTool
|
|
A
polished app in under a minute? You decide... Here's an RB template
for single-window utility applications. Saved window positions,
help, preferences, about box -- it's all done for you. Mac or
Windows, RB 4.5 and higher.
|
| |
Release
Note
Browser
|
|
(source code and application) This lets you quickly find things
in the ever-growing release notes that accompany a REALbasic
pre-release version...handy for looking things up when you can't
remember which release it was in, or collecting together all
notes on a given topic. Just run it, drag the release note file
to the window, and type in what you want to find. Mac and Windows,
RB 5.5 and higher.
|
| |
modMenu
|
|
A
small module with a half dozen methods to help you deal with
menus, and a couple for menu diagnostics. No rocket science,
just some handy code. (I particularly like SMenuKeysFree, which
returns a string containing all the command key equivalents
that your app isn't using at the moment...). RB 5.5 and
higher.
