The Association of REALbasic Professionals was formed at the REAL World developer conference in Austin, TX, in March. It’s an independent organization whose purpose is “to unify the profession by providing continuing professional and educational development and contribute to the community’s well being by acting on behalf of its members.”
ARBP began as a discussion on the weblogs of several prominent REALbasic developers, including Bob Keeney of BKeeney Software and Norman Palardy of Great White Software. When it became clear that there was momentum behind the idea, Keeney called for a meeting at the REAL World 2008 developer
conference.
At the meeting, it was determined that ARBP should be formed and its bylaws adopted. Following nominations for members of the board of directors, those present elected to the board Keeney, Palardy, Marc Zeedar of REALbasic Developer Magazine, Paul Lefebvre of LogicalVue Software, and Brad Rhine of the Elizabethtown Area School District. Due to REAL Software’s subsequent hiring of Norman Palardy, he has stepped down from his position on the board, and has been replaced by Dr. Scott Steinman of the Southern College
of Optometry.
ARBP aims to launch several initiatives in the coming months, including an extensive membership campaign and members-only discounts on REALbasic products and services, as well as access to exclusive product marketing
resources and business opportunities.
