Xojo — Sponsor

Xojo is a cross-platform development tool for creating native apps for desktop, mobile, web and Raspberry Pi.

With Xojo you really can write just one version of your app, say, on the Mac, click a button, and have a completely native Windows version too.

Xojo lets you abstract yourself from specific platform details, so you can focus on what makes your app unique. All apps have completely native controls, even if they weren’t developed on that platform. Just use drag and drop to create your user interface, and one language to program the functionality.

Users also include Fortune 500 companies, citizen developers, professional developers, IT, hobbyists and students - anyone who wants to build apps faster.

I love working on Linode. It's plain and simple for me since I am using Linode hosting through a PaaS that automates the server setup process and provides managed servers. Linode has great performance and infrastructure, though it doesn't have as many services as DigitalOcean, like its Blockstorage.

Review Hosting

Digitalocean interface is much better than others and easy to use. I have used Linode it's pretty much faster cloud hosting and price are also good.
