LiveCode Indy overview

LiveCode Indy will help you unleash your killer app. Build apps twice as fast as any other environment with a modern and powerful workflow that saves time at every step. LiveCode is more than just mobile; deploy to 7 popular platforms from one code base. LiveCode has an incredibly rich, deep feature set with more than 2000 features for even the most sophisticated project. From ask password to zoom box, drop shadows to data grids, vector graphics to native scroll bars - LiveCode has it covered.

What LiveCode Indy does:
LiveCode gets the job done, from simple apps for keeping score at sporting events to real-time flight booking systems for a major airline; millions of people use LiveCode-built solutions every day.

How LiveCode Does It:

  • Easily: The responsive, visual development system starts with drag and drop and lets you craft your program in small chunks. Then use a simple language that is loved by non-programmers and busy professional developers alike. LiveCode means the end of unnecessary jargon: up to 90% fewer symbols, statements and expressions needed to get the job done, when compared with popular alternatives such as JavaScript or Objective C. That's why we say that LiveCode is the only system that is so simple and accessible anyone can learn it.
  • Quickly: The best way to write a quick utility that solves a business problem in minutes or to create prototypes in real-time that deliver a sophisticated user experience. Live coding keeps development agile. Changes happen in front of your eyes meaning you slash debugging and maintenance time using understandable and readable code. On average, LiveCode customers have saved $36,250 per project.
  • Cross-platform: Realize commercial opportunities by supporting today's fastest growing platforms; LiveCode gives you completely royalty free distribution, no ongoing fees, hosting fees or mandatory subscriptions. Write once deploy everywhere: iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Web and Server. Access native platform features on all platforms

The quoted price is for a per-year subscription. Also available, LiveCode Community Edition, free.

LiveCode is Open Source, and therefore, FREE for most uses - you can buy a Commercial license for it, if you need to release your software through the Mac App Store, or if you are not allowed to develop under the GPL. LiveCode is extremely flexible, powerful, and easy to learn. It is being used both by kids learning to program, and scientists working in NASA projects. But one of the best features of LiveCode is its amazingly friendly and supportive COMMUNITY: lively mailing lists and forums, filled with people wanting to provide you help and support, and making the entire learning process a pleasure. As has been mentioned before, the KickStarter campaign has guaranteed that LiveCode will be evolving quite rapidly in the near future, adding many, many amazing features that will make it even more compelling - see their KickStarter campaign page for details. Last of all, the much under-promoted 'Server' is an absolutely gem, and an amazing alternative to languages such as PHP or Ruby - the English-like LiveCode language makes your complex web code easier to understand and maintain, even on complex projects (Google some amazing web libraries written by Andre Garzia for real-world examples). PROS: fun to use, easy to learn, extremely powerful, compile to Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and write scripts for the web, all with one language, the future of the platform looks promising, the price (=FREE) cannot be beaten. CONS: we still have a few months to wait until we get to see all of the amazing features promised during the KickStarter campaign, but at least we know they're coming!

LiveCode has been released as OPEN SOURCE, so you can download it and produce full-blown apps for Mac, Win and Linux, without paying a single cent. You can also download the Open Source version of the 'LiveCode Server', which allows you to use LiveCode as a server-side scripting language (like PHP or Ruby). LiveCode has succeeded in their KickStarter campaign, gathering about $750,000 of funds and becoming the highest-grossing open-source software project in the site. The KickStarter campaign goals include full Cocoa support, an even better database layer, and an open language interface (so programmers can enhance the language as they see pleased). The program code is already available on GitHub, and several programmers have already made additions and enhancements to the code. The LiveCode community is abuzz with activity, and the future of this platform looks *really* bright. Oh, and it's still just as easy to learn and use. It's a winner.
