LiveCode for the Real Beginner Survey

Thank you for filling out this survey. Your answers help us to decide whether to re-print the book LiveCode for the Real Beginner. We will also use the data collected to determine interest in an edited edition of the book and to improve our services.

If you change your mind or if your situation changes (e.g. you decide to buy the book or the book arrives or you change jobs) you can always fill out this survey again.

Everybody is invited to fill out this questionary! If you haven't bought the book or aren't interested in programming, then you will probably choose "I don't know" quite frequently, but your other answers are still important!
