Good thing, since as with any language if you want to know every word
you'll need to read the entire dictionary.
Most of are less ambitious. There are still things in there I've
never read.
For newcomers I usually suggest skimming the second and third chapters
of the User Guide to get oriented, then poke around the 78 tutorials
included in the install to find one that grabs their attention and
play around with that, modifying it to see what happens. As they come
across language elements unknown to them, at that point the Dictionary
can be helpful, esp, the See Also section.
I am the proud owner (!!!!!) of a 2 volume listing of all the language
terms in RunRev/LiveCode 1.1.1, where one can read through
(if one is so inclined) ALL the terms in the language as it was at
version 1.1.1.
It would be useful for learners if there were an equivalent list for
versions 7.x/8.x and for the new .lc language.
A would-be learner of the new language appears to have no entry point.
Richmond.
