First app , more than a novice can handle?

Post by camel007 » Tue Oct 15, 2013 12:57 am

Hi Guys
Before i plunge into hours of researching how to use LiveCode, Do u think that a simple timesheet app is beyond the scope of a novice ?
Cheers
Alex

Hi.

Not at all. I recommend that level of task as the best way to learn. That process requires both reading about LC and experimenting with a handful of tasks in a practice stack.

You must read the user guide and any dictionary entries that appear there. This community will do the rest. It will take you a month or two to get to the point that you could have made your timesheet app in a few hours if you had decided to start at that time.

Hi Alex,
It's too soon to give you advice on tackling any specific problems that you have yet to encounter, but keep this in your back pocket for now "dateItems".
Don't even look it up in the dictionary, just go about on your merry way. Nothing to see here.

I'm watching you... :)

It will be your date/time/math BFF.
