Folks, Thanks a lot for your detailed responses. Since you have all been quite awesome in giving me all these great replies and feedback, let me tell you, in probably more details than you'd ever want, where I am coming from and what I plan to do going forward. Many here know that I have

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

FYI, I’ve found some of the MovAvi apps to be good and very inexpensive. That said, I’m not doing a lot of video editing these days, but found the video editing app to be easier to use than iMovie. I used Final Cut Pro, but didn’t renew when Apple went to 64bit

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

I prefer video, but I feel demonstrations should have some production value other that just a screen share. Indicators, motion graphics, etc and not just a guy and his desktop. And EDITING!!! I'm a Final Cut Pro video guy these days and have ALL the groovy plugins so I'm not being fair I guess.

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

Hi André, I previously always favored printed books. But now I prefer digital materials that are a combination of text (with copiable code!), interactive elements, and supplementary video. As Richard pointed out LC itself provides "the many learning benefits of direct engagement with

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

Hi Andre! As others have pointed out, whether to go for a text based or a video based course, very much depends on your target audience. I like Richards proposal of using LiveCode as the framework for a course. This way you can in fact utilize the strengths of both formats. You can present

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

My immediate response is anything but video !! I hate video - can't find things, no indexing, can't fast forward effectively over the bits I know or more-or-less know, need audio which doesn't always fit my surroundings, But that doesn't mean video is without its advantages -

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

Books for me - either phyical or eBook. Although video might have a support role. I’ve learned several programming languages over the years and the practical value of having a well indexed book open beside the computer so I can go back and forth leaving the development environment open on my

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

Hi A proper up to date guide for LiveCode is what has been needed for years. Digital or paper. I used to love paper manuals and guides but more so get PDFs these days. Sean Cole Pi Digital ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com

Andre, given the average age of the users here, I'd be curious to know what the responses are if you asked the same question on another forum for any popular programming language. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On July

RE: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

I Agree, Books. For the most part the only videos I watch are music related. Other than that I read much faster. I watch a video only after the narrative needs additional details (car/electronics/instrument... repairs). Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

Books. I read much faster than video playback, and a book allows me to skip around easily and look up topics of interest. I rarely have time to sit through a whole video unless it's very short. Books hold my interest better. I think younger people are used to receiving information differently.

Re: [off-topic-ish] do you prefer LC-related content as books or video courses?

Andre, What I like about books is that I can go back to them easily and find Gems, if there is a good index. Videos work for me, if they are short. It also depends on your target audience. If you are going for experienced Livecode programmers, I suspect a highly indexed online “Book” that is

Hey Folks, I have been working on some new LC content to sell. I want to transition my career into content production and I think there is an unserved demand for quality content for our beloved language. I'm just not exactly sure if you prefer to consume content in book format or video format.
