Livestreaming some LiveCoding right now.

[SoapDog]

Hey Friends,

I found myself in need of building a git plugin for LiveCode today. Instead of building it on my own, I decided to livestream the whole process. To watch it, jump in to:

https://youtu.be/cOr87w7GyGs

I'm live right now and I have no clue how long this will take and if I will actually succeed in building the plugin I want. This is a good opportunity to interact with another developers (there is a chat) and watch how I work. You'll see my mistakes, debugging skills, and maybe even learn something.

see ya

I think I came back too late, but after 3 hours and a half, I don't blame you for calling it quits

[SoapDog]

Sorry for calling it quits. I need to work on some other things. Next time I'll announce it way earlier so that people can prepare in advance to watch it. Anyway, YT keeps a recording so you can always go back and watch from the start. It takes me a long time to start because I hit the "on air" button to pick the URL and then proceed to write and send the messages to this forum and the dev list.

[bogs]

Your sorry for quitting after 3 hours? Please don't be hahahaha, I wouldn't have been able to stay that long anyway

I rarely sign into Google anything, so it isn't like I would have been chatting at you anyways but I did find viewing it interesting, so for sure thank you for posting it!

I can't remember the last time I signed into youtube for anything, and this is the first time I was motivated to add to a yt chat.
And along the way I learned what an "MM" git status is. Time well spent.

Andre- your profile info here still shows you as being in Niteroi.

[bogs]

I saw your name up near the top of the list heh.

I wish Andre had moved the 'chat' part up a bit higher, or moved his camera so we could see things as they came up, but those were the only things I saw that wasn't interesting (so far).

[mwieder]

I just popped the yt chat box out, stuck it in a different monitor, and made the video part full screen.

[bogs]

Yes, but not possible when your coming in 'after the fact' as it were

[mwieder]

That's bizarre. Why would the option be available when the stream is live but not afterwords?

[PaulDaMacMan]

I like the idea of liveStreaming a livecode-ing session, maybe I'll try doing that next time I start to write another API wrapper with LiveCode Builder and document the process.
I don't see a need for a GitPlugin IDE though, unless it does stuff like convert your stacks into a text only (plus any resource files) format(s).
I just use GitDektop for both LCB code / LCS script-only, and binary stack files.

[mwieder]

Paul- Brian Milby's scriptTracker plugin stack does just that and keeps me more or less sane. YMMV.

Yes, Brian's made several very useful tools/resources. And I think someone in the chat mentioned Monte's VCS plug-in too (not sure if he's still developing that). Of course if you make behaviors scripts for controls and otherwise keep everything script-only and only use the binary stack format for GUI things, or if you're doing LCB stuff, then Git can stack your changes fine.

Maybe I'll do a livestream of making an LCB Wrapper for wimlib since it doesn't have that much to wrap and I've had a need for it a few times recently (making USB install media for Windows 10, but from macOS with FA32 format flash). I hate typing at the command line (vs. drag/drop applet way of doing things) and there's no a GUI tool for dealing with this Windows Disk-Image format on macOS (AFAIK).

So many statuses, right? I want to reduce them to something like "stages/unstaged" because that is kinda all we usually care. As for the profile editing, I've tried editing it before but when I submit the form, it goes to an error page as if the form action is pointing at the wrong location...

That would be great, Paul. I know very little about LCB and wrapping native libraries, I'd probably watch that multiple times.
