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 populate random numbers in an array
I still don't get some basics like (a) what's the blank screen that comes up
? (b) how do I convert the flowcharty looking symbols to quickly an acutal flowchart
if there is a way for it to generate code that would be lovely.
I am still stuck at some basic concepts like how the "main" (as in C) relates to various stacks.
My understanding is that mainStack in LC => main in C and the context of the module where main() is.
Similarly, all other substacks and stacks are like C modules/files with appropriate scope.
Figured that global allows containers (or C variables) to be shared across stacks.
I am not a GUI programmer, but want to practice LiveCode for a possible (:-)) upcoming interview.
So, I would love to learn a few good tricks like:
1) Essential - create functions that call functions
2) Essential - if there are libraries of algorithms - sort/search/
3) Essential - learning how to manage stacks (and cards?)
4) Essential - learning how to create objects and pass messages (Understand sockets for a long time, but not in LC and haven't read the guide yet)
5) Would be nice - how to create quick system diagrams (perhaps use the flow charty symbols?)
6) would be nice - quick tricks to create simple but spiffy I/O
7) would be nice - anything else that the tutor thinks will be useful to dazzle one/more intervierwing team
This looks like easily 2 45-60 min sessions to me. I can venmo, but more important, irrespective of whether I get the job or not, I will certainly upload my notes here as paying forward.
