Andre, What I like about books is that I can go back to them easily and find Gems, if there is a good index. Videos work for me, if they are short. It also depends on your target audience. If you are going for experienced Livecode programmers, I suspect a highly indexed online “Book” that is sea

Books. I read much faster than video playback, and a book allows me to skip around easily and look up topics of interest. I rarely have time to sit through a whole video unless it's very short. Books hold my interest better. I think younger people are used to receiving information differently.

Hi Folks, For years I have owned the domain "lovelivecode.com". At one point I lost it, but decided to buy it again a few months ago. I called it that because I often found myself saying "I love livecode" while working inside of it, due to its massive strong points in desktop app development.

Hi Andre! As others have pointed out, whether to go for a text based or a video based course, very much depends on your target audience. I like Richards proposal of using LiveCode as the framework for a course. This way you can in fact utilize the strengths of both formats. You can present most
