To add an extra boost to our Infinite LiveCode campaign, Digital Pomegranate is offering an incentive of infinite possibilities. If we reach our core goal of $40,000 by Friday, Todd Fabacher and Digital Pomegranate will open source to the community their complete WordPress framework. This has taken them a year and cost over $50,000 to research, design and code.

This generous offer will allow LiveCoders to develop ecommerce applications using LiveCode, to update WordPress websites directly using a LiveCode application, to develop survey applications using Gravity forms and many other new benefits that Digital Pomegranate are happy to share with the LiveCode community should we hit this target.

Over to you Todd…

Day 3 – Coding & World Leaders at Davos

by Todd Fabacher on January 25, 2016 No comments

Today was all about coding and world leaders. Almost every conversation I had eventually focused on how coding is the future and a key to success. My conversation with Will.i.am, who was incredibly knowledgeable, focused on utilizing the power of objects to shield the complexity of development from students when they first start. I explained that this is the power of LiveCode and why a simple syntax English like language is far better than Scratch from MIT. Kevin and Steven, he suggested you double down on Code Day and contact him directly when LC8 with widgets is all out because he was amazed that one language could do all the platforms including HTML5…mark it on your calendar: http://will.i.am/.

Planning for better at the World Economic Forum

by Todd Fabacher on January 20, 2016 2 comments

LiveCode evangelist Todd Fabacher from Digital Pomegranate is in Davos this week at the World Economic Forum. Todd will be creating a series of blog posts from Davos talking about the advantages of LiveCode as he creates a business planning app in just 4 days.

It’s 5:00 am and I’m looking at the majestic Mt. Ararat in Turkey from the window of the Armenian airport in Yerevan. I started reading an article about how entrepreneurism and technology will have a massive impact on Iran now that the sanctions were lifted this past weekend. Since Iran is just down the road from where I am now, the impact seems to be even more powerful and has been the topic of conversation here. I am not boarding a flight back to New York this time, but to Zurich Switzerland and then by train to Davos to attend the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum.

op·por·tu·ni·ty

a chance for employment or promotion.

synonyms:   favorable time/occasion/moment, right set of circumstances, opening, option, window (of opportunity), turn, go, possibility;

As a father of a son on the autism spectrum, I asked myself recently what I want most for my son as he begins to reach adulthood. The word that came to mind was opportunity. Opportunity to get a skill that will allow him to function in society.   When I look at the sad statistics that say only 56% of those on the autism spectrum graduate from high school and 80% of them are under or unemployed, I decided that I needed to do something not only for my child, but for the 500,000 families facing the same challenge.
