Stacks, objects and messages… oh my…

So what have I been up too since my last blog post? I certainly haven’t been following a yellow brick road through a spooky forest (feels like I am sometimes), although, I almost made it to Hogwarts but just missed the train at platform 9 ¾….

(Unfortunately Harry was on his Easter holidays)

All joking aside, the above picture is from London’s Kings Cross Station where I arrived and departed from during my recent work related travels.

Myself and work colleague David Williams, were visiting “the big smoke” last week as we were the lead trainers for a LiveCode training course that was being held in the fantastic Lift venue in Islington.

The main goal of the course was to provide some basic training for users who are new to the LiveCode platform. We covered things such as LiveCode fundamentals, database integration, media integration, location services, social networking and deployment. The initial feedback we received from the attendees was great and it was fantastic to see what our users are using LiveCode for first hand.

After each day we travelled back to our hotel by bus (The great bus service in London rivals what we have in Edinburgh), freshened up and then headed out for a bite to eat. Our first night led us to a nice little Indian restaurant and the second night found us in a very traditional English pub which served fantastic Thai food.

The sessions were a great personal experience as I have not had a chance before to lead a training course and really enjoyed building the content and making sure that it would be interesting, relevant and helpful. Interacting with the attendees was very inspiring.

I am very much looking forward to our next training sessions, it was a fantastic experience, with some challenges along the way which left me more than ready for my bed at the end of the day.

If there is anything you would like to see in a training session or any areas that you would like us to visit, please leave a comment below and with interest building more and more, we might end up taking a trip to somewhere near you 🙂
