Xojo Documentation Xojo Documentation

The Fundamentals part of the User Guide describes the Xojo IDE (Integrated Development Environment), the Xojo Programming Language, Object-Oriented Programming, App Structure, Debugging and Build Automation.

You should start with this section if you are new to Xojo so that you can understand how the IDE is organized and the features it has. If you are new to programming the sections on the Xojo Programming Language and Object-Oriented Programming should be especially helpful. If you are not new to programming you may still want to scan those sections and then jump into the Language Reference to see all the commands that Xojo has.
