LiveCode Global: Our Next Conference in Your City

by Kevin Miller on May 18, 2017 2 comments

Everyone loves the LiveCode Conference – we know for many of you it’s the highlight of your year, and it certainly is ours! That’s why we weighed up carefully holding an on the ground event this summer as usual. However the reality is that at the moment the pressure is on to deliver features and finish projects. After a couple of recent Yak shaves*, our engineers have been chained to their desks. And will be remaining there for some time! We had to decide against hosting an in-person conference this year.

But we know how important our conference is – for both our team and the wider community. We love hanging out with all of you and the sharing of ideas, success and best practice is so important for everyone. So we spent some time thinking how we could still have a fabulous event this year. The result: LiveCode Global.

LiveCode 9.0 DP 6 – Infinite LiveCode Preview

by Ali Lloyd on March 9, 2017 17 comments
LiveCode 9.0.0 DP-6 has just been released, and is the first developer preview containing the Java Foreign Function Interface (FFI). We’re thrilled to be bringing you this exciting first part of the Infinite LiveCode project. It’s been a longish road to get here and as is typical with such large and complex software projects, there have been a number of frustrating walls to be knocked down en route. I’m proud to say we have overcome these roadblocks, and without further ado, let me get stuck in to telling you how you can use it! Foreign handlers can be written in LiveCode Builder (LCB) which bind to calls on Java classes via the Java Native Interface (JNI). In particular this enables binding to classes in the Android API.
