Question about buying Livecode
Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:50 pm
I would appreciate some input on my current situation, and maybe give me some direction on where I should go from here.....
First off, I am very new to LiveCode and for that matter programming and design. I am willing to put in the time and effort to learn this program, but I need to know if this is the right program for me. My wife and I have a very simple idea for an application to aid her in her job field, and I believe the application I want to build could potentially be purchased by people in her line of work. With that being said, below is rundown on what operating system I would be developing on, and what devices I would like to see my application work on. Maybe someone can tell me what package I need to purchase....
I have a toshiba laptop computer running Windows 7 32bit O/S
I want my application to run on iOS (iPad etc.) and Web Browsers.
One question I have....I read that if you purchase the "add on" development tool for iOS, it states that LiveCode can only develop applications for iPad Itouch etc. if you are using a MAC computer....(is that correct?) Furthermore, does that mean that I cannot make an application that will work for iPad unless I make it on a MAC?
Second Question....So if the above question is true, If I purchase the "add on" for deployment in HTML webpages, will the final application run in a web browser and still work similar to an iPad/Android application?
Thank you ahead of time for any comments you may have....I hope I made my question clear and didn't muddy the water....(my wife tends to say I do that!)
