Re: Modularising Code

Do you think it is better to use insert [the] script of object into {front | back} for modularising your code when the code is to be solely contained within your project? Is there a limit to the number of front and back scripts a project can have? Is there any downside to using front/back vs.

Nakia, I do what Richard does - put as much code as possible in library stacks, which I can edit in the IDE and upload them to the server for testing (or when done). Much of my server code handles requests from LC desktop apps, so I don't have to deal with HTML pages so much. But when my serv

I think using a substack as a library is OK. Remember that the main stack is in the message path of the substack. So, you will have the main stack twice in the message path for cards and controls. This is probably fine. But, something like a keystroke counter in the main stack might count th
