A Programming Methodology for Educators and Researchers to get Quick Results
Cross platform. Easy-to-use. No compile cycle.
Whether you need a quick research tool or to create interactive teaching materials for your students, LiveCode makes it easy.
Write Code in English
Imagine if you could use the language you already know to write your own software. Instead of learning a soup of arcane symbols or the esoteric and formulaic shorthand that plague traditional programming languages, you could write simple expressive statements. Imagine if you could write just a little code and start to see the results – as well as test – right away. Imagine if everything you worked on was always live, always running and you didn’t need to wait to see the results. Fortunately you can with LiveCode. Learn simple, memorable syntax and start expressing your ideas.
“I liked the workflow. I created two projects using LiveCode, one to develop pronunciation and language abilities, including some general language tests… Besides its speed, the other major advantage of LiveCode is its cross platform nature. Rapid prototyping means that I can quickly put something together that looks nice and add logic with LiveCode’s powerful language.” Dr. Van Heuven, Lecturer University of Nottingham View Case Study
LiveCode Compared
To get an idea of just how much easier it is to program in LiveCode we recommend you start by taking a look at some of the examples we have on this site. There is a great set of examples on the Text and Data Processing page. Take a look to see LiveCode compared with other languages. You’ll notice that a single line of English-like LiveCode, with a minimum of symbols, can often accomplish something that takes several lines and dozens of symbols in other languages. Which language would you rather use? You might also want to take a look at our Multimedia Features for some simple code examples for working with different types of media.
Incredible Feature Set
LiveCode puts a dazzling array of features at your fingertips. Create your own iOS (iPhone or iPad) application to deploy in the field or deploy to the Desktop. Create your own completely custom interactive teaching experience. Apply powerful visual effects, drop shadows and blend mode effects to any object. Process text and crunch data. Or build a Web application. The choice is yours.
