Bowing Out

[Christer Pyyhtiä]

Thank you for telling of your views.

How’s about sharing the experiences?

Now which were the great inventions you made in creating your apps with LC? What were the biggest obstacles? What creations what you made were getting the best appreciations by your customers? Were there any problems you were no able to overcome in making your app where you wanted it to be?

Were you able to first write specs for the job and find out it was easier / more difficult to code with LC?

I could continue this, but what was the most difficult getting it done with LC?

Just to add here, as in any coding problem, in my mind it sometimes took too many rounds to get there, making it frustrating. Yet, with LC, the coding was so intuitive, I nearly could just write the spec, and get it running. And now there is an amount of ready coded / automatically rewritable blocks with Create - maybe beating your own blocks.

Let me know.

This is because of seniority (as someone recently put it - I?m old!) and the feeling that at my time of life I can?t productively invest time or money in learning about Create and the whole direction of the LC technology. I?ve had fun over the years, and have benefitted hugely from the generosity and expertise of those on this list and of course from the direct support of the whole Kevin circus. I?ll miss it all.

If I were still trying to contribute, I would be asking about how Create can help with apps that depend on user interaction with animations, and apps that are driven by external triggers like changing GPS coordinates, and most of all, about how far Create will assist with deployment, particularly on iOS - an issue that can dwarf the actual development effort of an app in terms of time and resources. If Create can take the user all the way from internal beta test to publication, that would be an achievement worth celebrating.
