Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of choices out there and I had to dig to find this old book.

If you haven't already done so, try visiting this sitehttp://revolution.byu.edu/ for a really well structured transcript/revolution/livecode learning environment. And many many kudo's to Devin for taking the time to put it up on the web. Not to put down any other source, but this really is the cream that rises to the top.

Hi,

I know this is an old thread, but people might end up here when looking for books about LiveCode. If you're looking for a LiveCode book, you might like Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner.

Kind regards,

Mark

Good news
When it's programmed?

Hi,

Not sure what you're asking, but all the info is on the website.

Also, don't quote messages if the quote comes from the messages right before yours.

Best,

Hi Mark,
I was thinking about the quoting of the whole previous post. It has become rampant in this forum, I have never seen it before (this is the only forum I've really been a part of). I understand that it's down to new users but they learnt it that way somehow. Do you think it is OK if I asked them only to quote the relevant part of the post they are responding to?
I have a terrible feeling that it may be some sort of CYA so that the previous post cannot be edited.

It would be really cool if Heather would host a live forum etiquette meeting so that we could all be aligned in our answers.

Hi Simon,

This has never been an issue and I hope it stays like that. The veterans could give the noobs a few hints about netiquette and that's all we need. If you really want to contact Heather about it, go ahead.

Best,

Mark

@Simon- In this case I don't see that the quote adds anything to the content of the question. Especially since it comes right after the quoted post. I know one can't always control threading, and I do see the advantage of quoting sections of previous posts, but it was unnecessary here - no value added.

...and to get back on topic, having looked at the preview of the book, I think Mark's done a great service by putting this together. Combined with Colin's book, these two references should be indispensible reading for anyone dealing with the learning curve of coming up to speed in LiveCode programming.

I think I'll buy the book. No, I'll definitely buy the book. But I fail to see what's the adventage of using this kind of "delayed" publication in the times of on demand printing publishing houses like Lulu and many others
