Welcome to the First App Tutorial!

This guide will take you through the steps to create your very first app using our platform. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this tutorial is designed to help you get started.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  • Basic knowledge of programming
  • A text editor or IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
  • Our platform account

Step 1: Setting Up Your Environment

  1. Install the latest version of our platform SDK.
  2. Open your text editor or IDE and create a new project.

Step 2: Creating Your First App

  1. Define the structure of your app.

    • Create a new directory for your app.
    • Inside this directory, create the following files:
      • index.html: The main HTML file for your app.
      • style.css: The CSS file for styling your app.
      • script.js: The JavaScript file for adding interactivity to your app.

  2. Write your first HTML code.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My First App</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome to My First App!</h1>
    <p>This is a simple text-based app.</p>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

  3. Style your app with CSS.

    body {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    background-color: #f4f4f4;
}
h1 {
    color: #333;
}

  4. Add interactivity with JavaScript.

    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    console.log('The DOM has been fully loaded and parsed');
});

Step 3: Running Your App

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt.

  2. Navigate to the directory containing your app.

  3. Run the app using the following command:

    platform run

  4. Open your browser and visit http://localhost:8080 to see your app in action!
