Clarion Out-Of-The-Box with XAML and Dashboards
AUG 09,2019
John needed to display information in a list box in a format that exceeded the capabilities of the standard Clarion list box. XAML to the rescue! In this webinar, John will talk about the problem he wanted to solve, and walk through how he solved it.

In addition, John wanted to create flexible dashboards for his customers, where the customer could choose what information to display, how to display it, and the format to display it in. He'll walk through how he put these together.

Consuming APIs Smackdown!
JUN 07,2019
Last week we gave an overview of consuming APIs without involving Clarion at all. This is because, on Thursday before the webinar, John had developed a class utilizing NetTalk that makes consuming APIs easier, and Bruce looked at it and went "no no no this is not easier" and John said "yes yes yes it is easier" and Bruce explained why it's not easier, and John said "but it is easier" and the only way to solve this is with an API smackdown!

Join us this week as the two battle it out for the easiest way to consume APIs, and we get to where you can actually consume APIs in your Clarion apps!
