Ran across an interesting article Making $30,000 a month on Windows 8 apps, by Kevin Ashley in CodeProject | The Daily Build where it was also great to see Construct 2 as one of the platforms first listed in the Windows App Store.

Ashley, found your Make your JavaScript apps smoother .net magazine December 31, 2012 article quite interesting and informative, thanks.

Joannesalfa, thanks for fixing the link which has now been updated in this post too.

Ashley, thanks for your quick reply and I can understand your thinking and hopefully it will be easy for everyone to navigate as there is a lot of useful items for learning and deploying C2 in the new project dialog.

The new features in the C2.109 beta release are awesome.

One suggestion though centers around "The new template/example dialog replaces the old New Project dialog. Now you can choose from over 70 templates or examples right from Construct 2." excerpted from the download page and its organization of these 70+ items within the dialog.

It would be great if there was "New Project Dialog Organization" i.e. these were grouped somehow where I have provide a quick off the cuff example below to give a gist of what I mean as it might be a bit overwhelming to a newbie or others to scroll through 70+ items right off the bat.

Again, this is just a minor organizational suggestion and the example below is just for illustration purposes which could not be correctly formatted but is formatted correctly at my ideone page.

Thanks for all that you do in the continued and rapid development of the C2 platform and C2.109 beta release looks awesome.

era, thanks for giving us a synopsis of your working methodology. It seems like a good way to keep the wheels rolling as well as being more agile. I am still in the throes of learning enough of the mechanics to be able to do what I want to do, so maybe I need to step back and follow a more iterative process like yours until I become more proficient. Again, thanks for sharing.

Kyatric, will do and thanks also for clearing up the duplicates too.

Receiving the below server error repeatedly here when trying to post this "Great to have C2.r107 up and running, thanks for all of your awesome updates."

Really loving this edX free course, CS50x: Introduction to Computer Science - HarvardX, which from the introductory lecture video and class materials looks like a really interesting course starting October 15, 2012 and ending on April 15, 2013.

kenli, yeah Google's 14th Birthday, glad it was helpful.

missykimmie, I have looked at TED, but had not used Mixergy before, so thanks. By the way, your link loops back to this thread and I am curious about the other six trainings and what they are.

I wanted to make a quick update that Freepository is no longer offering free accounts at this time but may offer new free accounts in the future so if you are interested just keep tabs on their website for any updates. Existing free accounts continue unchanged so if you already signed up before this change you should be fine.

Incidentally, I have been using Freepository, TortoiseSVN and BitKinex for the past month and it makes it so much easier to keep your sanity through the many code changes, additions, branches, and such that take place when developing apps so I highly recommend using a Version Control System (VCS) to help you do all of this administrivia automatically.

In fact I would estimate that I am saving on average from three to five hours per week using a VCS to say nothing of being able to very quickly revisit any previous written code within the VCS by going through the log files and comments or by just browsing the trunk, branches, or tags within the project.

This ability to organize code will become even more important once an app goes live since it will allow easy organization of not only the many builds you might do for the different device types and such, but also when you make updates to the code for added functionality in future versions or just simply upgrading and improving the graphics.

shinkan, thanks for sharing.

Gilden, impressive pack of graphics to be sure and it looks like from your post above the last day to pre-order at $79 is October 30, 2012 the day before the Halloween release date so I will keep this date in mind if it is in the graphics budget, thanks.
