are complex apps possible!

Post by shane247 » Mon Mar 09, 2015 10:33 pm

Hi, I just downloaded livecode and am looking forward to getting stuck into it, I have designed a straightforward app in android studio before but am not a big fan of java or c++, the syntax and symplicity of livecode seems like a breath of fresh air :). My question is I have a great idea for a social app and will need geolocation like tinder, video and picture capabilities like snapchat and server side support for my database needs, This would all be fairly tricky coding it through java so I am wondering if live code would be up to the job? If so I would take the time to research important libriaries and spend time doing tutorials before I get to the complex stuff.
Thanks, and any comments would be most welcome.

Hi shane247,
Welcome to the forum!

Oh what fun is in-store for you!
Yes, you can do all of that with LiveCode (except I don't see video yet) :) I'm sure LiveCode 8 can sort that out.

Edit... it's an easy app for LiveCode
I used to be a newbie but then I learned how to spell teh correctly and now I'm a noob!
