Workgroups and Teams

Bring the benefits of live development to your workgroup or team. LiveCode allows you to check stacks in and out of standard version control systems. One of the strongest team features LiveCode has is the readability of the code that is created. When it comes time to pass code to another team member, you’ll really realize the benefits of having code that everyone can get up to speed on quickly.

Application Design

LiveCode applications need to be carefully planned to work well within a team environment. In particular when designing applications, plan to use individual stacks for each component within the application. This will make it easy for multiple people to work on the same project at once.

Reusable code such as objects created with Object-Oriented Behaviors should be created with one object per stack file. The IDE allows you to load multiple stack files and work on them as if they are a single application. And the Standalone Application builder can then combine these stack files to create an executable stored either as a single file or with downloadable or separate components.

Customizable IDE

The LiveCode IDE is created entirely within LiveCode and can be easily customized to support the needs of your workgroup. You can modify the Code Editor or add a plugin that downloads and uploads application components, checks for new components or import and export objects as XML.
