REALbasic

I’ve started to evaluate REALbasic as an alternative tool to Microsoft Access to develop my database applications. To help me learn the language’s capabilities I’ve been using some online tutorials and resources. Some are a little out of date, so the current version of REALbasic (2008 r 5.1) works a little differently, so I’ve written some short amended tutorials. Some only go so far, so I’ve extended them with additional features I could see me using in future systems. They’re posted here mainly for my reference, but perhaps others may find them helpful.

RB Nation

Jay Jennings has some useful material at his RB Nation blog. This is written with the current version in mind. I’ve extended some of his material:
