RunRevLive.13 Workshops
Our conference is only two months away, and we're getting a great line-up ready for you!

By Heather Laine

Do you have your ticket yet to join us in May, in Edinburgh? I'm really looking forward to meeting many of you, some for the first time and some for your second or third conference. We must be doing something right, if you keep on coming back!

We've an exciting new format schedule for you this year. As well as the main Speaker track, where LiveCode Gurus will stand up and tell you about topics close to their hearts, we are offering a variety of interesting, hands on, short workshops, and a few longer ones. These workshops will be small intimate groups (limited to no more than 10 people) so that the session leader can assist you, interact, and answer your questions on the topic.

Topics
We will be covering a wide variety of topics for you. You can learn about the Game Loop with Hanson Schmidt Cornelius. He will be taking you through a game loop framework that supports continuous interaction with rule driven agents and moving objects. Or you could get to grips with LiveCode Server, with a session on installation by Arnaud Bouchet, or programming using it with David Williams. Are you still baffled by Unicode, or want to know more about databases? Elanor Buchanan will help you out. And of course, top of the bill, if you want to know how to get to grips with the inner workings of the LiveCode engine itself, Mark Waddingham will be leading a three hour workshop on this. To attend this session you do need a working knowledge of C/C++, and you are invited to bring a feature or bug you want to work on.

Take a look at our current schedule here.

Sign up for Workshops
You need to sign up for the workshops you are interested in, on a first come first served basis. Popular workshops will be repeated so that as many people as possible can benefit from them. You may not initially book more than three workshops. If we have excess availability during the conference we will place you in more workshops on request, as and when it is possible. Where a workshop appears twice on the schedule, this means it is a repeat to allow as many people as possible to benefit, so you don't need to book it twice.

Call for Speakers

We are still working on confirming speakers for the presentation sessions in Track One. We have a number of sessions confirmed which we will be publishing shortly. If you have a topic you would love to speak about for 50 minutes, please email us with a short summary of your topic and we will take it under consideration.
