We may find ourselves coming full circle, where companies say to us as
developers, "The web app we had designed for us is ok, but it lacks some
features we simply cannot get from a web app. I need you to design a desktop
app with mobile equivalents to do what our web app does, and then add these
It has always seemed to me that the process of enhancing browsers has resulted
in eventually breaking them. Remember when Safari was the most stable browser
available for the Mac? Then they started enhancing it. It may be in a good
state now, but I can remember being forced to use Firefox becaus
Great article. I think a good way to describe Revserver is a web server that
allows the use of LC code embedded in HTML. You can't ever get away from HTML
of course. It's what browsers know and understand. I'm with Jim in that
learning new languages always puts me off, but I understand that it's

Bravo, Igor. This is exactly how I see it. But thanks to Andre and
the others for making really good points. (I'd never heard of
AngularJS, so I'm going to look into it).
I'd bet 99.99% of developers have never heard of Livecode. Without a
massive advertising campaign, I don't see them gallopi
I am coming to LiveCode from a web development background. I must say, that my
point of view may differ from what has been presented so far.
First, I find web programming quite enjoyable. I use a very, very powerful and

What an informative great post, pedagogical and synthetic, to describe things,
Andre ! Just want to add some details :
RevServer makes us able to program multi-users cloud enabled web and saas
solutions in following the best standards we will ever get to code in avoiding
sad proprietary languag
It's not that bad, Jim. Really. Very few of us are gurus - just empowered
users, like you. The tools and the information are out there. Rev gave the
revlet a good shot, imho, and they had to drop it to concentrate on what is
more relevant for now. Andre's response says it all. One good thing is th
Jim,
I don't want to sound pessimistic but what I am going to tell is good

I invested in livecode because of its web presence (actually it was the sales
