LiveCode Forums.

a very kind gentleman helped me tremendously with all my newbie questions.
Feeling pumped up to take on this interview (if that were to happen :-)
This is a great tool. It may turn out that I may be using this tool... that will be very cool :-)
If so, I may actually be able to come back here, ask ...

Hi mweider,

I would love to learn some basics (please see my post "Any Tutor") from anyone who has about 1-2 hours to teach some basic ideas. I am quite familiar with C. A recruiter wants me to learn LiveCode so his team can interview me. Questions are not going to be beyond basic algorithm 101 ...

Thanks, Richard. I figured that by playing with the LC 9-1 after I wrote the post. Sorry, should have deleted a foot-in-the-mouth post but I will leave it as a reminder for myself to RTFM.

For some odd reason this bulletin board interpreted "LC 9 period 1" string as an external image/link.

Not a week, about a weekend. Someone who's willing to consider me for an interview with their team.

And I think what I am expected to learn and where I am, their expectation is ...

Possibly trying to run before you can walk?

LOL I need to run by this week. I was told that I need to run on Friday. Hence the hurry.

Thanks Richmond. Any idea what's the blank screen is about? Any pointers to the list of "Essential" and/or "Would-be-nice" that I listed?

Also, I do need to learn LC for an interview, but highly doubt that I will have to use it later. That's why looking for someone to teach me a few specific things ...

Very thankful, to both Richard and Jacque. Unfortunately, I still can't PM, but if you don't mind PM'ing me about how I can contact you by email/text I will promptly proceed - if you'd like to teach me.

Already read (skimmed would be good word!) through the BYU guide. Coded my tiny function to ...

Hello, I would love to learn LiveCode from someone who can teach me how to construct algorithms quickly.
I am quite familiar with C/C++ Eclipse but finding a bit of a trouble learning the stack/mainstack/input/output etc.
I am complete newbie to GUI widgets and not interested in that part of ...

I am a complete newbie to LiveCode. But need to learn how to use it quickly. I know C well, C++ not so well. I would love to learn to program in C using LC. Based on this thread and what I found, it doesn't seem like it's possible.

If it's possible to program algorithms (not GUI widgets) then I ...
