Ready To Make real Apps? Kickstarter OPEN SOURCE Campaign...

Hi programming enthusiasts.

I don't do this sort of thing unless I think it's really really important.

I LOVE Scratch and have shared it for years and years.  I am a LONG TIME programmer and have developed on every tool and platform out there.  Anybody remember HyperCard and the world of 4GL and xTalk languages?  I sure do, and I always loved them also.

I'm taking some of my work time to let all Scratch programmers know that there's a wonderful way to take the next step into programming applications and I think the Scratch audience will really appreciate it.

The last xTalk (HyperTalk, SuperTalk, etc) language around is called LiveCode.  It lets you DEPLOY apps for: Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, iPhone, and Rasberry Pi all with a single click...

If you want to make real applications and you LOVE scratch, then you'll love LiveCode.

I have zero affiliation with LiveCode.

The reason I'm writing this post is because right now LiveCode wants to go OPEN SOURCE and it needs ALL YOUR HELP!!!!  The goal is big and they're trying to get it into GitHub. 

Please please please check this out and support the cause!  You won't regret it and you could help to bring about a "Revolution" that started when the Mac first came out with what started out as the coolest programming system around "Stacks" and "HyperTalk". 

Thanks for reading this far.  Here are some links:

Sorry, this is in the wrong forum. I'll just get a mod to move it to "Things I'm Reading and Playing".  smile
