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 differences
(if any) needed in the code for different platforms, and which is then actually
installed on all the available platforms, indicating all the pitfalls of
deploying on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux - what installer software to
use, getting stuff approved/certificated etc. and including a jargon-buster for
the deployment end of things ("what’s device provisioning?" for example).
Just my two eurocents, or Brexit pence. (Will the Scots keep GBP if they break
away?)
