Re: Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner is available again!
Hi Peter, Many thanks for the kind feedback. If you, and other people too of course, would like to make a contribution to future editions of the book, please post your comments and questions at http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com/qa/ . All feedback collected in this place will be taken into consideration whenever a new release of the book is prepared. Moreover, it is the only place where I discuss the content of the book with readers and provide explanations if asked for. Another way to provide feedback is by filling out the questionnaire at http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com/survey/ . The results of this survey are used in any business decisions regarding the book. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Use Color Converter to convert CMYK, RGB, RAL, XYZ, H.Lab and other colour spaces. http://www.color-converter.com Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi Fill out this survey please http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com/survey/ On 8/1/2013 21:05, Peter Alcibiades wrote: Its a great book.

If you have any bright technically interested young teenage relatives in need of intellectual stimulation, a copy of the OSS version and this would be a fine present. Who knows where it might lead. Old retired relatives in need of intellectual stimulation too!

Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner is available again!
Hello everyone, The first print of my book sold out in just over a month. Everybody who took an interest in the book was asked to do the survey at http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com/survey/ (which you can still fill out if you want) and that made it clear that we are doing things pretty much the right way. So, we've decided to print more books, after making a few small corrections. I haven't changed much because I want teachers and students to be able to use the two prints next to each other. Nonetheless, I went through my book once more and corrected a few dozens of small typos. Where possible, I improved any confusing phrases. You can find the most important changes at http://qery.us/3xy . I'll be extending the list of errata during the next few weeks. Besides corrections, the new print has a slightly heavier soft cover and a better index. If you still have any comments or questions while reading the book, you can post them on our QA site at http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com/qa/ . An important change, partly due to the survey results, is the minimum order size that qualifies as a bulk order. From now on, if you order at least 10 books, you may qualify for a big discount (this used to be 25 books). Contact me off-list for more information. If you bought the book recently, we'll be shipping it within a few days. Books purchased after today will be shipped within 2 weeks. DHL needs at most 3 weeks to deliver the package, while you should normally get it within 1 week after we ship it. More info about the book can be found at http://qery.us/3xz . -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Use Color Converter to convert CMYK, RGB, RAL, XYZ, H.Lab and other colour spaces. http://www.color-converter.com Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi Fill out this survey please http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com/survey/ ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
