Examples
Xojo projects
Reviewing and experimenting with example projects is another great way to learn. There are hundreds of them available right in Xojo. You can access them in Xojo by choosing File > New Project and then clicking on Examples in the New Project window.
Tip
The examples in this dialog box are loaded via the Internet. If you need access to them when you're not connected to the Internet, you can download them or click the Download Examples button on the Examples pane of the Project Chooser.
You can search the examples by name. Selecting an example will display information about it in the pane to the right.
You can also limit your search to examples for a specific kind of project and platform (Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, Windows).
While most examples are designed to show off a specific feature, the Eddie's Electronic's example project is a full application.
