LiveCode Forums

I am glad for this thread, because the problem with the vitality of a language is its community. I find all the elements of my "cry for help" for the company to let students (and us teachers) have a free tool on which to develop a new community of faithful livecoders [ https://forums.livecode.com/vi...

I just read that Xavvi will be called LiveCode Create. I'm glad! The name LiveCode has stuck, someone in marketing must have talked some sense into the "X-vvi" fans. I am relieved, conceptually LiveCode remains the center , starting from that you " create." A student of mine said long ago that inste...

Dear Trevix,
now there will be Xavvi and everything will be solved, it will be the AI that will create the updates itself and merge LC9 with LC10 as well as create the long-awaited compiler!
(obviously kidding, I join Trevix's requests).

2. Xavvi does not create an app for you; Well, let's see... what does the PR say? As you describe it, Xavvi writes code for you in English. For a simple app you won’t need to edit any code. you’ll be able to build amazing things with Xavvi. Everything from a simple business application to an entire...

Staying strictly on LC. It's a big struggle, at least for the environment I'm in, to defend LiveCode as a "serious" and competitive language like Python etc. Integration with AI, as the steam masters have hoisted the flag, is of course essential in order not to go out of fashion. :roll: But in my op...

Some reflections...but I would not want my passionality to be mistaken for a form of resentment...I'm just Italian aren't I? :D My criticism of AI in its marketing and politically oriented version (i.e. ChatGPT) does not make me a Luddite or a saboteur of Jacquard loom. Whenever someone utters a vei...

Hello Jose, unfortunately, science, at least in schools, with all its toys, from smartphones to this new marketing initiative that is generative AI, is creating ignorance. Thanks to pocket calculators very few students in Italy, and we are talking about university students, know the multiplication t...

Hi dear friends... I would like to share this reflection from a student of mine whom I teach LiveCode. He is 13 years old and very intelligent (a genius! :D ) and sometimes comes to this forum as a guest to understand the language better and to experiment. Yesterday, he saw that there is persistent ...

We have an answer from the big boss... finally! :) As promised at the beginning of this thread I make any communication public, since I am not "me" but I am "the world of teachers." Here is Kevin's response: Hi Mariasole, Thank you very much for taking the time to write. I have spent some time cons...

FWIW Xojo offers a free educational package, and when they promote it on Twitter they flatter LC by including #LiveCode among the tags, e.g.: https://twitter.com/xojo/status/1521808610979893251?t=5rg0PgRynbEkDECH5RtNLQ&s=19 And they tweet. Often. Very active with the social media component of their...

Dear Craig, stam and Jacque, thank you for your interest and participation in our school battle! :D "When did you post your letter to Kevin?" Dear Craig, the letter is dated March 30, 2022, but my appeal to Kevin, since the forum administrator is Kevin himself, is as late as January 20! :shock: "I ...

Hello everyone! I have written to Kevin Miller, as was suggested. I wrote to the support email. The email came through, but no one, least of all Kevin, ever responded to me. I find this behavior very offensive and unfriendly to me :evil: and to those who have supported for years (as they could) this...

I like your proposal, and if you haven't submitted it in email to the company directly I would encourage you to do so. I still believe there's much that can be done to expand LC's reach in the world. Dear Richard... I am preparing a open letter for Kevin.... it's taking me a while because of my acc...

Dear Richmond, thank you for the information you brought to this thread. You rightly quote Piaget and the result of "instant joy" :D that a kid brings when he programs in LiveCode. I come from a Montessori teaching tradition, and I can tell you that if I didn't have LiveCode on my hands, I would nev...

Thanks Roger ! I hope this plea will do some good and reach Kevin Miller, and his staff, but for now, it seems to be unworthy of even a courteous response. :oops: But we are not giving up! Thank you Roger and Richmond for powering this appeal! :D Speaking of Richmond, I've been doing some research o...
