Hi All My first look at LC a year ago:
Was it just me or do you find that many of the reference documents and media are not well written. As I have stated in the past, as a newbie I found the media incomplete and misleading in many areas. Today: Since that time I have come to understand that LiveCode is a horse of many colors and it does exist in the land of OZ. What is difficult to understand as a newbie is the vast number of things you can do with LiveCode. The scope of design approaches available and the way the design varies depending upon your expectations and ability to formulate the requirements. Looking forward: The transition period since the Kickstarter funding has been a big distraction for new users. Its hard to get started alone track the many versions and changes afoot. I am looking forward to a calmer time when you can see the results of your work and not having to deal with bugs and version issues.
