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.

From zero coding experience to developing apps for Sony Music

Todd Fabacher financed a startup coding company in Armenia using money provided by the World Bank. The project was part of the regeneration of Gyumri, a city badly hit by earthquakes and very impoverished. LiveCode proved to be the ideal tool for complete non-coders to go from nothing to creating commercial apps for large companies including Sony Music

Improving how businesses train their employees

Trevor along with his brother Greg began helping medical device companies train doctors how to use medical device hardware and software. During this time, they realized there were no good tools for making software training guides. So they made their own. Now they have 8 employees and customers ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, all relying on Screensteps to provide for their training needs.

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.

Landsat 7

Landsat 7 is an imaging satellite. It provides images of the earth for science and industry (including google maps). It is monitored, driven and protected 24/7 by a suite of LiveCode apps.

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. Little did he know that 5 years later the team would have a complex suite of 6 apps written in LiveCode that would be central to the operation of Landsat 7.
