Chapter 1. LiveCode Fundamentals
Is this chapter for you?
LiveCode has an English-like programming language, a graphical development environment, and an easy-to-understand structural metaphor. When you create an application, you spend more time thinking about how to implement the different features, and less about the complexities of the tool you are using. But if you've never used LiveCode before, it's still going to be unfamiliar at first. This chapter will bring you up to speed, ready for the later chapters that will require that you are more familiar with the terminology and features of the tool.
LiveCode is easy, but there are thousands of easy things to learn! Throughout the book we will look at the latest of those easy things, particularly those related to mobile applications, but first we should go over some of the basics.
In this chapter we shall:
- Become familiar with the LiveCode environment
- Investigate the hierarchy of a LiveCode "stack"
- Create a simple calculator application
- Learn about the many different interface controls
So let's get on with it...
