Latest News on Live 'C' Programming event in UK (for Complete Beginners)

@Rudei

I'm happy with that, will be good to get the group together again. (unless it's on the 8th)

@Rudei

You'd have to ask the chairman of that usergroup, but to be honest, his enthusiasm for all things amiga has waned by the looks of it.

Ubantu is his choice now.

I take it you'll re-vitalise this thread or put up a new one, then, at the relevant time?

@OldAmigan

But of Course!

@AJS

Can someone get him on here to discuss?

@Rudei

Tried PM? He has posted fairly recently.

Perhaps a new more obviously-titled thread?

Or the 3Cag forum (which seems to be back up at last)?

BUMP.

Any chance of getting this going this year.

@Rob

There is a reason why this hasn't happened.

The reason is that there is a product awaiting release which makes use of a type of classes that are not currently available right now. I can't say anymore, suffice to say that it would make everyone else's life a lot easier. For that reason I have not pushed ahead with this yet.

I am hopeful that the next OS4 update will contain the classes which will then enable everyone to sing from the same hymn sheet so to speak.

@Mikey_C

Hi, is it targeted to AOS4 or also for AOS3.x?

Another thing. For those of us a little far away, could it be possible (would there be any interest) of having the same but "OnLine Live C Programming" version, through Wookiechat, SabreMSN or Epistula?

@emeck

I would love to do that, maybe via a combined webcast and something else. Not sure if its do-able with an Amiga though, not exactly blessed with video/audio conferencing software

It is aimed at OS4.x users only.

@Mikey_C

Thanks for the answer. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long.

@Mikey_C

That would be great. Maybe using streaming audio/video for the teacher/server and mplayer for the students/clients? That way we can see and hear her/him/them and the code and students questions can go through the chat/irc channel?

@Mikey_C

I live near Seattle, Wa and would love to attend something like this. If there is a way to cast this thing that would be great. Barring that, if it were recorded in some fashion that would also be nice.

Several months ago I found a tutorial with example code for creating a GUI on the Amiga. I could not get it to work on my A1 compiling with GCC. bummer.

I would be willing to pay for a course that taught how to create a calculator like the one that comes with AmigaOS.
This would be for OS4 using Reaction.

(Now that I think of it I don't recall what the calculator looks like in OS4. I like the history window in the earlier versions.)


I will accept free tickets to the UK for anyone with more money than they know what to do with.

@Mikey_C

Have a look at this site http://www.ustream.tv/get-started which says that you can put a video streaming conference through their servers. Check this out. It might be usefull.

I take it we're still waiting for "that" product release before anything else happens?

Rude!

@Rudei

Its hopefully gonna be available sometime with the release OS4 update.
(I hope, else its gonna be a bit messy)

@Mikey_C

Do we have a date for that do you know?

Rude!

@Rudei

Friedens Knows when that will come out!
- all worship at the alter of Friedens and other mighty OS4 Developers

The only fly in the ointment is the streaming cast. As you know, there is no streaming software available for the Amiga. So, this will mean a PC/Win/Linux/Mac sitting alongside your AOS4 capable Amiga.

Real bummer.

@Mikey_C

Not the end of the world though, I think we have all come to realise that the Amiga for some duties plays second fiddle.

Perhaps if we all learn to code out of this experience we can create such software?

Rude!
