Richard: Some of the items were mentioned in Bramanathaswami’s post. Some, of course, is just taste. I put almost all of my code in substacks, but haven’t tried text only stacks yet. I can’t see having a jillion small text files to keep track of. But then, a lot of folks seem to love them, so I wonder at the advantages. Of course, there’s the github thing. I work by myself, so that isn’t a factor, but I can see it would be major for teams.
Code that’s portable between apps is important. Perhaps that would be something to discuss. And I really haven’t messed with implementing personal code “Libraries”. The requirement for strict ID’s for behaviors makes them less portable. Do text only stacks help in this regard? So, I think what I’m “seconding” is that a higher lever than “newby” tutorials on code organization through Libraries, Text only stacks, substacks, etc, would be useful and I would give it a hard look-see. Currently, I’m pretty satisfied with my current approach, but over the last year, I’ve changed it so much as I learned more about LiveCode, that I wonder what I’m missing. Thanks, Richard, for all your comments and help on this list.
