Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner - 3rd print

Post by Mark » Wed Mar 05, 2014 12:01 am

Hi everyone,

I'd like to share a few words about my book with you.

The second print of "Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner" has been sold out now. In approximately 6 weeks we will publish the third print of the book. This book will be slightly different from the second print. I will probably change a word here and there, correct a few minor spelling errors and update one sample script.

The book was published almost a year ago and the main challenge is now to keep this book available to the LiveCode community. You can help by telling new LiveCode users about "Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner". You can send your friends this link http://qery.us/44r or refer them to this forum message.

The third print of the book will be a limited edition. If you want to be sure to get a copy, you should order it now. You can (still) place an order at http://qery.us/44p

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi everyone,

It's been a while that I made any announcements about my book. I have been working on the 3rd print of "Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner" and had some issues with printing and logistics. We have sorted out all issues and now I'm happy to announce that the book is available again.

The third print of Programming LiveCode... has been updated to include a few new XML commands that were introduced in the latest stable release of LiveCode. I have also mentioned the textEncode and textDecode functions, which are going to appear in LiveCode 7. It should be clear, though, that I have kept the changes to a minimum.

It looks like LiveCode 7 would require a considerable rewrite of the book. For now, this would take me too much. Perhaps I'll do this some time in the future, when I have sufficient spare time on my hands.

While I was trying to get the book printed again, people kept purchasing and by now most of the books have been sold already. We have only 25 copies left and we will print more in 2 months. If you don't want to be on a waiting list, order now and we'll send the book to you next week.

You can order the book at http://qery.us/4ie and more info is available at http://qery.us/4id

Kind regards,

Mark
