We&#8217;ve produced the very first in our video tutorial series, building the Todo list app. Follow along with these 5 short videos, and see what you can do already with LiveCode Create!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intro and tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t yet looked at Create, here are the basics. Steven Crighton gives you a quick tour of the interface, shows how to customize it to your taste, where the Script Editor lives, how to drag out objects from the Tools Palette, setting up your very first project and more. If you&#8217;re already familiar with Create you could skip this one &#8211; though I personally learned a few things I didn&#8217;t know when watching it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qS91GZDwhDI?si=_2-2XynxhpAHH8jL\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tasks User Interface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next layout the basic UI, add fields, titles and colors as needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8mMMvs13_0o?si=a41UFTeH2Hrx7oEz\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add and Edit Tasks UI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now add the interface for adding tasks and editing them, snap to gridlines and readymade buttons make it easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4sNoM9_R1ZA?si=x9LteceMT0OWDw6B\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We&#8217;re ready for data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover collections and data binding. What they are, how to use them, and how to apply them to your todo list. <em>Note: this is an early version of the Data Store, it is local to your app rather than being truly pushed to the cloud, and any and every part of the syntax may still change. Use it, enjoy it, but with caution! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Jt4V0ktVoQ?si=qXu6i746FSI4Qxiz\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding Actions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final video shows how to make everything work. You add actions to your fields so that the correct data is sent to the cloud when you add a new item to the todo list, or edit or delete one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/67ZvG3FZkDg?si=AowHQUzD_x78axM9\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get your hands on it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are already a member of the LiveCode Create Preview program, simply go <a href=\"https:\/\/preview.livecode.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> and log in.
