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.
