There seems to be a lot of buzz around about this ability to build
Librairies from RB.
Can somebody explain, or point for a Newbie, what this leads to?
Libraries would, hopefully, lead to one of several capabilities
depending on what REAL implements
1) libraries or dll's that could be loaded and used by other
programs, possibly something like Photoshop
2) libraries that would enable REAL basic developers to ship their
code in a compiled form instead of encrypted source code
IF REAL implements (1) then I'd hope and expect we could get (2) to
work by writing plugins for REALbasic in REALbasic
Most plugins are written in C/C++ becuase those tools/languages
have a way to access capabilities not presently possible in RB
which is why a plugin is used.
I would add:
3) plug-ins for our own applications to provide additional
functionality if the plug-in was present (ie. support for specific
hardware).
