The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, November 18. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
LiveCode
This month, Brad Vokey will give a demonstration of LiveCode:
an open source, cross-platform, rapid application development
language. LiveCode evolved from MetaCard (the original Unix
HyperCard clone) into becoming a true cross-platform IDE
capable of running on iOS, Android, OS X, Windows, and several
variations of Unix including Linux, Solaris, and BSD. It can be
used to write mobile, desktop and server/CGI applications and
is the most widely used HyperCard/HyperTalk clone.
LiveCode uses a high level, English-like programming language
that is dynamically typed and tightly integrated to your
program's interface. The language and compile-free work flow
generate code that is self-documenting and very easy for casual
programmers to comprehend.
As this month's RTFM topic, Wyatt Zacharias will compare and
contrast the curl(1) and wget(1) commands.
Please note change in meeting date for this month.
This month's meeting is also the Annual General Meeting, where
we will have an election (most likely by acclamation) for the
new MUUG board of directors for the 2014-2015 year.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of
every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and
August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a
MUUG member to attend.
