What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

This is one of the better books on LiveCode and how to quickly script functionalities with it, having said that, this is definitely for those who already have a basic knowledge of writing codes (scripting) in LiveCode. New comers to the platform will stumble about a bit, but this will set such comers right if you backed it up with the online tutorials available on LiveCode website.This book also mentions about third party plugins(externals) I.e. MobGUI and animationEngine, both do have free trial versions with a trial window(or GPL license which side steps the trial windows), you should have a knowledge of installing externals (plugins) in LiveCode IDE in other to use these tools mentioned in the book, hence my point on it being a better fit for people who already have a basic working knowledge of LiveCode platform.Other than the above, well written and with guides on how to set up and script all examples used in the book, literally a watch me do it and do like I do approach which is invaluable to newcomers.

Well written book with many examples

Jean Marc QUERE Oct 17, 2014

I use LiveCode since it’s open source. It’s a great programming tool to do every type of applications for desktop or mobile environment. But you don’t handle both the same way. So you will have to investigate the available documentation for hours to make the good choices… or speed up the process with this Cookbook.You can read it from the beginning to the end (and learn LiveCode) or pick up some knowledge to do a particular task (if you’re already skilled). The author explains how to set up a productive environment to build applications for iOS and Android devices. The samples are complete and include a precise description of each device (phone, tablet) to manage it the better way. You will find useful informations : screen resolutions, how to access of all features (use of the camera in less than 6 lines of code).The chapter 8 is dedicated to MobGUI, the famous LiveCode library dedicated to the user interface management. With it you can build professional looking apps. There ‘s always a subject to explore. Personally, I discover the Animation Engine (chapter 9) and how to easily move item on the screen using paths (without having to program everything by hand).The samples are simple enough to be comprehensive but complete and well documented. They are really useful and their code can be used as snippet.Beginners will find in this book a smart way to learn LiveCode, experimented developers will use it as a reference book. In a word: helpful.

The Live Code Mobile Development Cookbook is a great start for the aspiring Live code programmer. I have been working with Live Code on and off for a few years. The challenge is that I am not a professional coder. Live Code is allowing me relatively easy access with a sophisticated response. In the tech world (like film and video), the coding process is becoming more and more accessible so that the hard coders of C+++, etc., are becoming a pretty unique breed. For people like myself who transit a couple worlds, Live Code and its constant updates don't always require me to play catch up, especially with this Cookbook.The book is organized in solid categories where I can easily build up skills. In addition, the layout of the book allows me to drill down into what I'm trying to accomplish to find the right task. That's essential to get up and running fast. I think that any Live Coder will certainly want this book on their virtual shelf to find the right 'recipe.'

LiveCode is an easy and very useful program for developing both mobile apps and computer programs. As an open source project, it's free to download and use and works on any computer system, producing programs for Windows, Macintosh OSX, Linux or Android or iOS.This cookbook provides a number of easy to follow and helpful "recipes" which take you step by step through many common tasks. As an intermediate LiveCode programmer, I found it a very useful book. It would be good for any beginner, although I would recommend that an absolute beginner supplement this cookbook with a more traditional beginner's guide (there are free ones on the LiveCode website) to provide a more holistic overview of what LiveCode is and how it works.The book is organized very well, starting with installation & setup and working from basic tasks up to more advanced topics. I found it easy to read all the way through, as well as being able to skip around to pick recipes for tasks that I wanted to accomplish. The chapters on MobGUI and Animation Engine, extensions to LiveCode, were particularly interesting to me as they are very useful in building for mobile devices but since they are extensions their workings aren't typically found in LiveCode references.I found this to be a very useful book, and one which I will use repeatedly.
