Real Software have released a new version of REALbasic 2007 with a number of bug fixes and enhancements. I have yet to test run this version but you can find out more at their web site.

declareSub have released a wrapper for the Sparkle Cocoa Library. You can find more details at:

WSL-Amazon 2.0 – REALbasic Amazon.com web services library. (Commercial): ”

WSL-Amazon - Easily Integrate Amazon Web Services into Your REALbasic Applications. This HTTPSocket subclass wraps the Amazon Web Services ECS 4.0 API into an easy-to-use library of 36 powerful methods and 164 properties with support for their US, UK, German, French, Canadian, and Japanese Amazon stores.

Includes extensive search and information retrieval capabilities, plus the ability to create, update and checkout Amazon shopping carts — all from within your REALbasic applications! This class library also comes with the project source code for a fully- functional Amazon-powered application, which you can reuse in your own REALbasic projects!

I have been using Realbasic for a while now for some internal applications but I am soon to go live with some Shareware application.

Realbasic is a very cool solution for cross-platform development but it is also great for building applications for Mac or Windows only.

I think the main problem with the product is it’s name, it just does not express the real power of the product.

For some fun I will be producing a podcast/screencast on Realbasic which you will soon be able to grab from iTunes and other podcast directories.

I hope to mix both screencast tutorials/tips and podcast interviews.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. You can comment on this post or send me an email at funcoder@realbasicpodcast.com.
