Running Node Apps on BrightSign Devices about 6 days ago

BrightSign has pretty good docs that explain this. There are a ton of similarities to running NW.js, so it might make sense to check that out as well (https://nwjs.io/). DM me if you have more questions. My team and I have built a few Node applications for BrightSign players.

What the hell is Forth? (2019) about 2 months ago:

Is there any "battery-included" ANS Forth (more or less like Python/Go) which provides access to concurrency, networking, database, GUI, etc?

Real Software and Real Studio are now Xojo.

Small Visual Basic about 2 months ago:

I really recommend Xojo[1] (formally RealBasic). It’s like a modern VB6 but runs on macOS, Windows and many flavours of Linux. It has very polished drag and drop UI editor. I’ve been developing with it for over 20 years and my 10 year old daughter is now learning programming with it. You can create and debug apps for free and only need a license to deploy an app as a binary so it’s ideal to learn with. Heck, it...
