My working day got off to a great start this morning when I turned on my computer to find this tweet from @Programme_CM

“#LiveCode is insanely great!”

Thanks @Programme_CM, we think so too. We’re really proud of LiveCode, and we work very hard to make sure it delivers everything our developers need. I like to shout about it, so I’m always thrilled when other people shout about it too.

So, LiveCoders, here’s a chance like no other for you to tell the world what you think of us. The folks over at Vision Mobile have just launched the biggest ever survey on cross-platform developer tools and RunRev are delighted to have been able to sponsor it.

The survey examines how developers rate each of 20+ cross-platform tools, including LiveCode. It tracks the developer experience and perceptions in the cross-platform tools market. Everyone who completed the survey will be entered into a draw for an iPad 2 or one of two Kindle Fire devices. The results will be published in Spring as a free download on the Vision Mobile website and available here on this blog and on the RunRev website.

This survey investigates: 
– Best & worst of 40+ cross-platform dev tools 
– Developer mindshare and the top-5 most popular tools 
– Rankings across selection criteria, platforms targeted, learning curve, UI design, ease-of-use
– Entry, cost and exit barriers for tools adoption 

The survey is a great chance for LiveCoders to put LiveCode in the context of the overall market. It’s your opportunity to rate LiveCode and many other cross platform development tools. Your feedback and that of other developers will be compiled into a free to download report that will be read by industry leaders, analysts, journalists, developers and decision makers and will potentially have a huge impact on how the cross platform tools market developers. Vision Mobile is “a leading market analysis and strategy firm for all things connected”. Regular readers of the blog will recognize the name Vision Mobile as one that is quoted frequently on these pages. Their Developer Economics Report is a must have for anyone and everyone planning to have a future in software development. The Vision Mobile blog is top of my daily reading list.

The survey takes just a few minutes to complete.

Finally, thank you to everyone who recently completed our own LiveCode specific survey. We promise that after this survey we’ll be completely survey free for the forseeable future.
