Agen Schmitz
Agen Schmitz has worked within the Apple eco-sphere since helping manage speaker content for Thunder Lizard Productions in the mid-90s. After spending time at Amazon in the early 2000s (as senior editor for the Electronics and Camera & Photo stores), he has continued to focus on e-commerce content and works with a variety of brands across retailers. Agen lives in Seattle with his wife and son (who, sadly, has moved onto Windows for gaming), loves making monthly music mixes, and is always dreaming of Iceland.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign, RunRev has released the LiveCode 6.0 app development toolkit in a free, open-source edition as well as a commercial edition that’s required for apps destined for Apple’s App Stores.
