Turning the pandemic into a positive

Alan Green took the opportunity provided by home working to restart his app development. Having the breathing space to re-evaluate work, life and priorities allowed him to focus on creating this handy app for managing and scheduling jobs for sole traders, filling a gap in the market. Taking input from actual operatives in these industries allowed him to design something that worked better for them than current offerings. Using LiveCode provided a way of doing so quickly, on mobile devices and with iterative feedback from users.

Eleanor Roosevelt High

After switching to LiveCode, one out of every five students at our school were requesting the computer science class.

Cyril Pruszko told us that the 5 years he spent teaching LiveCode were the best teaching years of his life. It's what every teacher wants - students were engaged, they were learning, they were going on to have coding careers. With LiveCode you can teach the essential concepts of coding, without losing students a third of the way through the course. Python was too difficult. Other languages have artificial constructs that get in the way of learning, or are too simple, or too focussed on one device. LiveCode is a beautiful stepping stone to other languages.

Ivar Tillotson, a Spacecraft Systems Engineer at the US Geological Survey who runs the Landsat program, saw a couple of problems and solved them with quick LiveCode apps.
