Resources for a newbie in app development #38

Hi, I am trying to understand how to develop apps with NativeScript and I am completely lost. I do have experience with JS and I was able to catch the workflow, but I don't understand the app structure (I mean which code goes where and why, not the tree directory structure), the differences between versions and so on.

For example, I was able to make a demo in Playground but now that I want to run the project locally, it seems there are so many changes that I haven't being able to run it (migration didn't work).

These docs are good reference, but I didn't see an explanation about what “views” are (my experience is in web development, so I dunno the structure or logic for app development). Stack Overflow is full of info but a lot of it seems outdated or at least the syntax is different of what I have seen in version 8.

So anything that works to understand app development logic and structure with NativeScript would be appreciated.

Nice effort, btw!

Thanks for the feedback, we are working towards providing a much smoother on-boarding experience with tutorials that walk through the basics and the terminology used in native apps.

Nice! So it seems I will have to wait to use NativeScript. Any help needed to achieve that objective? I can help with translation to Spanish.
