Thank you all for your ideas, questions and suggestions First of all, as regards who will be coming to the workshop - basically I’ll take anyone with a pulse (might even take the undead…). Therefore I have to cater for a wide range of capabilities. Maybe in the future when I have more of an es

Ditto what Graham said: We semi-proficient coders hit the wall when we create a scrolling group on desktop and then transfer to our iPhone and it doesn't scroll or set a simple player to a URL for an mp3 on web server and discover that you need a to create a mobile player. What if you have cont

Dave, for me and I would guess a lot of others who aren’t so bad at coding in LC, **deployment** on the chosen platforms is the BIG show-stopper; so I’d like to see a workshop that creates a trivial app (say a variation on the clock/stopwatch theme - but it could be anything), discusses the diff

Dave, the first question is what is your aim? Is it to show people how to program in LC or is it to hilight how LC can help them? If it is the former, then most of the suggestions given will fit the bill perfectly; they are just examples of something already done, but you show them how to do it i

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions! I’m summarising them as follows: A drag and drop matching game. A to-do list app. A simple e-reader app. A walking tour app with a map that you can click for additional information and photos. An app that helps with web research (grab text and ima

1) consider a way to do these on line… possibly shorter (I'm in Hawaii so…..attendance is limited) 2) go thru all past conferences and look at the different track subject matter: These were well thought out and could serve as a theme for a number of work shops. 3) try to solicit other to be pr

hostm.com has a tutorial with a desktop stack and server scripts that allows you to add users to a database on the server from the desktop using HTTPS. It would be neat to have a generic "track stuff" app in Livecode that's got all the if-then's and libraries and whatnot to be compiled and work on

How about a client-server user registration system? Everyone needs one, and in addition to being widely useful it would demonstrate making HTTPS calls from LC clients, server-side DB use, and other things that play an ever more pervasive role in our increasingly cloud-driven world. -- Richa
