Live LiveCode "other tools" topics

[Admin]

I happen to agree. 

As a newbie to Live Code, I am not really
qualified to lecture on it, but as a graphic, video and audio
professional, I am fully qualified to talk about anything in those
realms. 

I do own Franklin 3D and do have many 3D animation and
modelling programs, so I could be of help there. However, I am new to
Franklin, which is, from what I understand, the Irrlicht 3D engine. 

If
I owned Franklin Audio, I could certainly lecture on that. Any way to
get an NFR of that? 

Count me in for lectures on tools like
Photoshop/Serif/Gimp and other photo tools, Vegas Pro, Premiere and
other video editing programs, Sonar, Studio Pro and other DAW's and
Sound Forge, Gold Wave and other audio editing applications. 

I am also
a well versed website programmer and can help talk about how Live Code
could be very useful as a website tool.

we don't always have a presenter, and it's a shame to miss a week here
or there, so I've suggested doing some meetings on "other tools". That
is, other authoring tools that a client might ask you if you know about,
or they may ask you whether that other tool might be better than
LiveCode for a given job.

may think less of you, especially if it was a trick question, and they
know that the other tool can do that feature!

you'll like the other tool enough to take on more work when nobody is

reproducing some of LiveCode strong points, and how LiveCode might go
about doing the other tool's strong points.

We may well try this next Saturday, unless there's a sudden rush of
presenters on LiveCode topics. The first tool we would look at is Unity,
which is often used for 3D games, on desktop and mobile (as well as
consoles). It can be used for other simulations too, and even 2D
games.

Does this all sound of interest?
