The Work of an Awesome Coder

by Steven Crighton on December 18, 2014 3 comments

Did you join the LiveCode Hour of Code? I did. Ok sure I was still on company time, so I was getting paid for it, but let me tell you – I am impressed with how awesome a coder I am.

Awesome coder – too much? I built the messages app and the user interface for the calculator app in 1 hour, that sounds to me like the work of an awesome coder.

Here’s the proof of my success with the Create it with LiveCode Hour of Code. Note – the below is not a screenshot directly from the iphone, it’s actually what I made in 1 hour! Seriously!

Here is the best thing about this demo and the Create it with LiveCode course – Everyone Can Do it. Everyone Can Be An Awesome Coder, Everyone Can Create Apps.

If you didn’t get a chance to catch the demo – it has been recorded and all the materials have been stored on the LiveCode hour of code page.

It’s a short blog post, but trust me, go check out the video, build these apps, get ahead of the game and if you can – get signed up to the Create it with LiveCode Course, it’s gonna be fun.

Happy Holidays Everyone

This is One Powerful Crowd

Over the last 13 months since being with LiveCode the strength and loyalty of this community has never failed to amaze me. We are a bigger & stronger community than we have ever been and that is very powerful. It means that all of us together can control the future of our product.

In 2013 we ran our first Crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter and this is where we stood up and showed the world that the LiveCode community is here to make a difference. We are here to make a better coding experience and we are not stopping until we achieve that.

A few months ago Kevin Miller LiveCode CEO (my boss) approached me about running a crowd funding campaign to bring HTML5 Web Output into LiveCode. My first thought was not worry or fear, it was excitement. I was so impressed that we were making a decision to go big, we were not sitting back on our 2013 success, we were saying, well we ain’t done yet, so let’s make a better LiveCode and let’s do it now. My second thought came in the form of about a million questions and I want to try and take you through that journey now.
