Ali Lloyd
Ali started work at LiveCode after doing a PhD in Mathematical Logic. In his spare time he likes to do puzzles, preferably ones he can solve with LiveCode. He can also help with selecting a fine bottle of whisky for any occasion. He has recently risen to a modest level of fame on the TV Quiz show “Only Connect”.
The Vulcan Build System
LiveCode’s build system is a complicated web of programs and services, at the core of which is a command-line application called vulcanbot written entirely in LiveCode Builder. I will give a general overview of how the system delivers builds and helps prevent bugs, and delve a bit into how the vulcanbot program works.
St-Git, what is it good for?
St-git is a command line program that sits on top of git and makes it much easier to manage multiple distinct changes that might go into a single pull request, and rebase branches when they are out of date. Ali will talk us through why this is a good thing and how you can use it to improve your workflow.
LiveCode Wordl on the Web
Ali will show us in this session how he was able to take the popular word game Wordle and recreate it in LiveCode, running on the Web.
