November Meeting

[chipsm]

I remember that we left a November meeting as a possible event even though Richard would not be in attendance.
Any word from the group on a November meeting? I for one am still interested.

It seems Paul is organizing a meeting for November:

Thanks Paul,
This meeting was very informative.
As we broke the meeting there were some discussions about our next meeting. We talked about examining how sockets work on a very basic level and possibly making a small application using sockets and an Ascii type database.
I look forward to the next meeting.

This Lesson is a good introduction to using sockets in LiveCode:

If there's interest I could dig up the old mchttpd stack and pass it around as an example of making a simple web server entirely in LiveCode.

[chipsm]

I think that would be cool.
Thanks.
I saw this post on the RunRev Site. I need to spend a little time trying it out.

Yep, sockets can be a lot of fun but will take some experimentation to use well. I like 'em for peer-to-peer apps, but for client-server I prefer working at a higher level letting HTTP do most of the work, being a well-defined protocol with lots of tools available.

I'll dig up that mchttpd stack and see if I can clean it up in time for the Dec. meeting.
