Re: LiveCode for the Hobbyists

You might need to fill in some blanks for me on why that is important for a hobbyist? I would say one feature of a hobbyist with a budget market license could be no code protection so it's an important point to clarify. Sent from my iPhone > On 27 Feb 2016, at 10:29 AM, [-hh] wrote: > > Becau

Re: The Future of LiveCode in Education

But a minute x 30 computers for an already overworked class teacher or under funded school tech just to do an hour of code type lesson may not happen. Ideally there might be an intermediate step between Scratch and the full LC IDE using a HTML5 IDE to introduce the language and advertise the ful
