From time to time I take a look around the web to see what new and exciting resources may have previously escaped my notice. The start of a new year is a good time to have a fresh hunt around to see what's new! There are some "Goto" sites I always look at, such as RunRevPlanet, and the  PGCPS Educational Website. Finding brand new resources is a little harder, but a Google search on LiveCode can turn up some interesting things.

For example, I just saw Scott MacDonalds "Search" sample, bringing you the whole of the 2010 edition of the use-livecode list, in one searchable stack. I'm not sure how long it has been up there, but I've only just noticed it! A little out of date perhaps, but still a fabulous resource, and free.

I also just discovered Robert Cailliau's fantastic "Compass" tutorial, which I'm bringing you in article 4 of this newsletter, as I know you will love it. So many apps these days need to be location aware, this is a great way of getting to grips with that concept. Robert has a LiveCode section on his website, with some great basics for beginners and several other tutorials on building more advanced apps.

One of the most frequent issues that comes through support is getting LiveCode set up with Android. We have tutorials and videos on this topic available on our site, but if you want even more input on this, I've just come across this link from the University of Mauritius. Three beautifully clear videos on getting LiveCode Community set up for Android. Nice!

LiveCode Server is an amazingly powerful piece of kit that deserves to be better known. Simon Smith in Capetown clearly agrees with me! Check out his Active Thought website. There is a fantastic tutorial section on using LiveCode Server, as well as a lot of other interesting blog posts. This one is getting added to our Resources page!

Fulvio Massini has published an entire free beginners course on Udemy. So far he has had over 4000 enrollments and some great reviews. If you're a beginner, this could be the perfect resource for you!

I also keep an eye on Lloyd Rieber's Learning LiveCode blogspot. New tutorials appear here quite often, his latest is on randomizing multichoice questions in LiveCode.

Hanny Helal on Tecmint has published a nice installation on Linux guide, here. If Linux is your preferred platform this is a good place to get yourself up and running.

Do you have a new resource you'd like to share with others? Or a place you go to find helpful materials on LiveCode? Please do let me know!
