I recently made a number of inquires in and around the greater Boston (MA, US) area for any classes that are teaching LiveCode at any of the area colleges or universities. Sadly, in the greater Boston area, one of the places with more colleges and universities per square mile than almost any where else in the world, there seems to be NO programming, (or multimedia, hypermedia, etc.) classes being taught using LiveCode. Boston College used to, but the faculty member who taught LiveCode retired several years ago and the chairman of the department tells me there are no current courses using LiveCode.
In part I was doing this out of curiosity as I was exploring potentially hiring a college programming student for a small, one-off project in LiveCode or even see if I could find an Faculty member with an interested grad student who might like to collaborate for college credit. I even asked RunRev for help in pointing me in the right direction based on their awareness of license sold to area universities. I was surprised not to find anyone. That said, as RunRev itself pointed out to me, with the Open Source version, it means people could be teaching LiveCode and RunRev would have no awareness. And while I have a lot of contacts in the higher-education community in this area, I did not exhaustively check every school in the area. I'd love to see, and help with, any efforts to get more people teaching LiveCode and even more so, collect awareness of those courses into some visible place on the web. _______________________________________________ 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
