Special Meeting: LiveCode Developers

IMPORTANT: Note the change of date! Our group normally meets on the first Thursday of each month, but for October we're changing to Friday the 13th to greet our special guest:

LiveCode Ltd CEO Kevin Miller will be in town as part of a California tour, and will be on hand to answer your questions about LiveCode.

It's a long way from the home office in Edinburgh, and Kevin's only been able to travel for our meetup once before.

We hope you'll be able to join us for this special event on Friday, October 13.

We'll resume our normal schedule of meeting on the first Thursday in November.

What is LiveCode?

LiveCode is a rapid application development toolkit for most major platforms: Linux, Windows, OS X, iOS, Android, and Raspberry Pi.

It has a high-level event-driven scripting language in which GUI objects are built-in along with everything else you'd expect in a general-purpose language, shortening the distance between designing and shipping an application.

LiveCode Community Edition is licensed under GPLv3 and freely available at LiveCode.org (https://livecode.org)

What do you do at your meetings?

Most of our meetings have at least one presentation between 30 and 60 minutes, with the rest of the time for open Q&A and problem-solving. While many of our members are experienced scripters, we mix it up with introductory talks when we know we'll have newcomers (one more reason to RSVP).

I know nothing about LiveCode - can I come anyway?

Of course! The more the merrier, space permitting. The room we use at Du-Par's can seat about 20 people quite comfortably, and we're happy to share what we're learning about LiveCode with anyone who's interested.
