Commercial product offer
Hello,
As part of the trial of the product I was offered a very tempting offer that included a full set of printed documentation including the entire Dictionary (two volumes) and another book encompassing over 400 lessons.
My question is regarding the Lessons volume - does anyone know if these are the same Lessons that are freely available on the LiveCode website here http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071 ?
Can anyone advise if this is the case?

Re: Commercial product offer
I would imagine the Lessons are like the Dictionary and other documentation: the value being provided is that they are printed versions of materials available online.
I can't imagine they'd invest the time to make 400 new Lessons without adding them to the Lessons site, but if anyone knows otherwise please chime in.

I think you are probably correct and having them in a printed format would indeed be a good benefit for LiveCode newcomers like me.FourthWorld wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 9:53 pmI would imagine the Lessons are like the Dictionary and other documentation: the value being provided is that they are printed versions of materials available online.

Out of interest, and without wishing to upset anyone, are the number of books available from Packt on LiveCode any good. I can't seem to find many reviews as such.

I have found that with all the programming languages I have learnt textbooks don't help
much: fiddling around oneself and talking to more advanced learners has always served me better.
In this respect the LiveCode Use-List and this Forum are invaluable.
