Co-ordinating Timezones

Pat M, known as 7Leven, is an intern at a company called ThoughtSTEM LLC in California. ThoughtSTEM is a company that for a while taught kids to program in the San Francisco area. They would use innovative and fun methods to teach the kids like helping them Mod in Minecraft. Currently, they are developing a video game by the name of CodeSpells. In the game the user, a wizard, uses code to make all their spells.

Pat helps run the forums, run contests for the forum users, and relays information to and from the users. There is also a monthly update where the users can talk to the developers over a live streaming service. 

There are many users from many different locations around the US and other countries. So keeping up with the time zones is difficult. As a result, he made an application with LiveCode that always has the correct timezone that correlates to the developers location. This application also counts down to the the time for the update livestream the application and opens the livestream in the user's default browser. 

The app connects to a MySQL database and gets the time of the update each month from that database. Pat created a second application that updates the database to which the users' applications connect. 

Team Organisation and Time Tracking

Roberto Trevisan of TD Software used LiveCode to help his small business customers organise and track how their employees time was spent in a cost effective manner. He built TCal, a time tracking calendar, that records events, deadlines and working hours on companies' own management databases. It works with a company's existing database which could be running in FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access or MySQL.

The Tcal client allows employees to manage their events and times through a graphical calendar interface.

The TcalServer manages company shared calendars and interfaces to the company's own management database.

Tcal not only runs on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX, it is also available in both Italian and English. It is a testimony to both Roberto's development skills and the breadth and flexibility of LiveCode.

Graph production data straight from a database

Roger Eller uses LiveCode and Charts Engine* to produce production graphs such as this directly from a database:

* Charts Engine is a LiveCode Library from Björnke von Gierke. It is currently available from the RunRev Marketplace.

Administer SQLite databases

Peter Haworth developed a fully featured SQLite database administration app in LiveCode.

It's for sale.

Manage archaeological digs

Malte Brill's company has developed a rather sophisticated app in LiveCode for archaeologists called archaeoDox. It is the standard excavation software used in the German states of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg.

Get work, track work, bill work ... on the go

Andy Piddock is working on an Android Quotation, Job tracking, Invoicing and Reporting app. Written in LiveCode, it syncs to an online MySQL database and has a web based admin panel for employers to push jobs to their workers out in the field. 

Cloud based training management

Phil Davis built a training manager app that is used to create training accounts, generate licensing, track usage, set training account permissions and training features, and manage training titles. All the data it manages is in the cloud. The "cloud" server code is all LiveCode.
