This is one of the best suggestions in this thread, a chance to lead by example. The more high-quality sites out there promoting LiveCode the better.sritcp wrote:Nothing prevents the community from coming up with its own (unofficial) LiveCode website.
(LiveCodeCommunity.org, LearnLiveCode.com, LiveCodeIsGreat.com)
It could be a responsive website built with LiveCode!
It can link, where necessary, to the relevant pages of the mothership website.
We can invite website design suggestions and choose one collectively.

has been that they show you how to make the "bits" but
not how to put them together to produce a useful programme.
to learn computer programming?
If one has a bit of persistence, is not hopelessly stupid, and gets on with things,
there is no reason whatsoever that one cannot get Livecode to make useful
programmes without being spoon-fed . . .
. . . Ah, but wait a minute; I come from the generation where we didn't all
"want it now with the minimum of effort, and as dumbed-down as possible".
Stop whining!
Hard to say. LiveCode includes more learning materials in the box than C, Python, JavaScript, and most other very popular languages.RossG wrote:How long will the "average" person persist with a new language

Been a while since you visited livecode.com?As was said elsewhere a showcase of programmes made with
LC would do this.
There is a school of thought that the word "average" is actually negative.How long will the "average" person persist with a new language
unless learning it is made easy?
Here's something to start us off.

"Bingo, boy; you got it in one!" This should be said in a raucous, red-neck accent.The key to grabbing the attention of current programmers is LC code compared side-by-side with a number of common languages
Respectfully, I believe comparisons with C or C++ are red herrings. Of course every good programmer understands that scripting languages are generally faster to develop in. Even when that development speed often comes at a cost of execution speed, scripting languages have become dominant over the last decade in many areas of applications programming because of their favorable time-to-market benefits.richmond62 wrote:"Bingo, boy; you got it in one!"

This MUST be the way to get programmers weaned off C#, C++ and so on.
I don't think that is true at all.Complete application examples are missing.
