Christopher Flatt – Building “Smart” Solutions with LiveCode Server

Professional Developer

Christopher Flatt

With a solid foundation in digital prepress, I began teaching at the university level in the late 90s. Picking up Livecode (then Revolution) out of general interest, I have since come to rely on Livecode for the majority of my programming needs, which these days focus on cloud-based mobile solutions. The power of the software, superlative customer support, and dedicated user communities are a combination hard to find elsewhere.

In this hands-on workshop you’ll learn everything you need to get started, including:

How to install and start using Livecode Server
How to generate basic (and not-so-basic) dynamic content
How to connect your site to a MySQL database
Real answers to your questions as we go
