| Why LiveCode? |
LiveCodeJournal was founded as RevJournal in 2003 by Alan Golub as a watering hole for serious fans of the rapid application development platform. Under his editorial management the site was launched and grew to attract a variety of contributing editors and a steadily growing readership.
In May 2005 Alan arranged for me to help steward the project, and with the great work of our contributing editors we look forward to delivering interesting and informative articles to the Revolution developer community for years to come.
In addition to the experts like Sarah Reichelt and Dan Shafer who've shared their expertise in these pages, we have a great many new articles in the works from some of the most experienced and helpful members of the LiveCode sphere.
As LiveCode's installed base continues to grow we can expect a great many newcomers hungry for knowledge, along with more experienced developers always looking to learn more about LiveCode and LiveCode-based tools.
That's what LiveCodeJournal is here to deliver, serving as a conduit and repository for some of the collective widom of the LiveCode developer community.

LiveCode is a high-level software development system that surpasses many other fourth-generation languages for ease-of-use, while rivalling many compiled languages for runtime speed for many common tasks.
With a rich set of standard GUI elements rendered with native appearances for all supported platforms, LiveCode offers many of the benefits of Java but at a fraction of the development time.
All this power is delivered in an engine less than 2.5MB in size. And the engine is self-contained, able to run without an army of DLLs thrown all over the user's drive.
With no compile-runtime cycle, LiveCode offers a level of productivty that's hard to beat.
It's definitely a different way of working, but delivers a big difference in development cost to match.
If you haven't added LiveCode to your development toolkit, you can try it out for free:
