LiveCode Forums.

I haven't used Live Code before but have build websites and such.
I have create the main stack page but am at a loss as to the coding. On this card the user would login, or create a profile or has the option to retrieve password. I have read a bit in the library on sending information to live code server. Does this mean that I need to purchase the commercial edition in order to be able to have a functioning login card? Hope this makes sense.

Hi.

Are you planning to deploy this to the web? Your questions are all about functionality, and are simple and straightforward. But it matters what you intend to do with your app down the road.

In any case, you need to learn the basics of LC, which is not a markup language. This is not something you can do in an evening. Please write back...

It is being developed for IOS and android. I planned on eventually upgrading to commercial but I had wanted to see if what I am building will work. I understand Live code isn't a mark up language.

Welcome to the world of LiveCode.

From your post I get the impression you are more experienced in coding how to display something than how to DO something, So please forgive me if what I say is too basic.

First, like any language you have to know the words. The entire LiveCode vocabulary is listed and defined in the LC dictionary. This is your best resource. However even if you know every word of a language doesn't mean you know how to string it into a sentence. That is where the tutorials come in. They will teach you the basics of syntax.

Now for the hard part. You can know every word, you can have perfect grammar. That still doesn't mean you can write a best selling novel. Coding is an art, and like any art, mastering it comes with experience and practice. My recommendation is to search through these forums, find any stack that is posted, download and study them until you understand what they did and why they did it. Meanwhile write your app. Back it up regularly and don't be afraid to try new things or even to create a small new stack to test ideas.
