LiveCode TV

Before I wrap up the latest LiveCode.tv event, I have a sad announcement to make. Even though we optimistically checked out which system we might use for the next broadcasting, it looks like we’ve had our last event. As far as I know there is no one who wants to do another presentation.

If you don’t want it to end, then contact us by e-mail or click here to send a message.

Last Saturday, 19 November, Björnke showed us how streaming with Justin.tv works, in comparison to Ustream.tv. Keep reading to find out what the conclusions are.
