Stephen,

I'd love to take a look at your book but I'm getting a 403 error, 
access is forbidden as I click the link below.  I'm in Granada, Spain 
if that makes a difference.  Any suggestions?

Stephen,

I have just downloaded the book and tutorial -- have not looked at 
them yet, but even so you deserve great thanks from the community for 
creating them and making them available freely to us all! Truly the

The original HyperCard language had only about 150 words, while 
LiveCode, which is far more powerful, has close to 2000.  This can be 
intimidating to newcomers. The book, 165 pgs, is designed for 
individuals with little or no background in LiveCode or computer 
programming, providing a brief, clear, hopefully enjoyable approach 
to LiveCode and computer programming in a simple, linear step-by-step 
fashion. The book follows the format of other Medmaster titles.  I 
hope to receive feedback so that the book can be improved, and I 
thank all the LiveCode gurus on the forum, which I have followed for 
years.

Roughly how many hours did it take?

It actually took several years to write, trying to sort out the most useful 
aspects of LiveCode to get the newcomer started. This is based on my own 
experience over 25 years of programming with HyperCard and LiveCode, and I hope 
that those in the forum who read the book may offer their own suggestions for 
improvement.

Hi Stephen

I too have downloaded your book and I look forward to reading it later - a
'hat tip' and a thank you to you for offering it free to the LiveCode
community.

Kind regards

Dave

Re: New LiveCode book

Hi Stephen,

There is some few books very, very different from thousands others…

In France, lots of Hypercard’s developers discovered this magic app’s 
design/development functional/object programing language because two of those 
kind of books :

Hypercard, by Jean-Jacques Greif
Hypertalk, by Jean-Jacques Greif

two little mementos (less than 100 pages each) targeted to drive the newbies 
directly to the concepts and architecture key points directly at work behind 
the stage.

About Jean-Jacques Grief

http://mapage.noos.fr/jjgreif/bio.html

It’ went never my habit to say more than i sincerely think about any think and, 
that said, i want to thank you. It took me about some minutes to understand 
that :

LiveCode Lite: Computer Programming Made Ridiculously Simple (2015) by Stephen 
Goldberg

http://www.medmaster.net/livecode.html

is this kind of specially very rare book. I expect that it could greatly 
improve the Livecode audience and i hope that Kevin will act and help you to 
make it as visible as possible.

Warm Regards,

Pierre
