Dictionary hardcopy worth it?
Enjoying LiveCode quite a bit. I'm thinking about preordering the hardcopy dictionary, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Will it provide anything in addition to what one already gets with the built in LiveCode dictionary (e.g., different examples)?

Re: Dictionary hardcopy worth it?
I don't think it will have any different content. Whether it's worth is a matter of preferences.
I find the online dictionary more useful when I'm searching for something and for using hyperlinks. But the hardcopy is more satisfying to sit down with than a computer screen. I also use the hardcopy for random searching, as I'll just casually peruse it sometimes and find things I never knew about before - I find it more useful than the online version in that regard.
