About Me
My name is Roger Meier, and I am NOT a professional programmer. Writing my own programs is a hobby that I picked up when I couldn't find any decent (if at all) freeware or shareware for certain tasks for which I wanted to use a computer.
I picked Xojo (formerly REALBasic) as my language of choice for several reaons, including its structure, its "object-orientedness", its capability to create executables for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux Platforms, and last but not least for its fairly large and helpful user community.
Over the years I've created a fair amount of small apps and tools for my self, and every once in while I end up with something that may be of general use. These are the applications that are posted on this website.
If you are a Xojo programmer or hobbyist like myself, I also host several open-source projects that you might be interested in.
