Creating a project

Once the analysis of the project has been completed, we can start programming it within Instant Developer.

Let's start by preparing a project save folder to which we assign the name YouBB; inside we will arrange everything you need: image files, javascript, html etc.

Now let's enter the environment and with the File menu item choose the New command.

We will have the structure of the new project inside the tree; we assign a different identifier to the root of the tree (where we now have the word New project).

We use the mouse and double click on the word New Project.

A tab appears in the design area, which allows you to change the properties selected in the tree: what we are interested in is the value of the Name property; let's type You Bb Project.

I remind you that in the design area you can find 3 different types of cards:

• Tabs relating to properties of tree objects.
• Cards for the graphic design of the interface.
• Cards for writing code.

The only form that requires immediate confirmation is the one we are using now: the properties form; in fact there are, in the upper part, 2 floating buttons (Save and Cancel) to confirm the changes or cancel the changes made in the card; it is also possible to confirm or cancel with the keyboard and precisely with the ENTER key to confirm and ESC to cancel.

This tab is as if it were a foreground modal window; before carrying out other operations with the mouse and above all to avoid losing the changes made, click on Save if you want to confirm or on Cancel to discard.

Now let's move on to the actual saving of the project; in the File menu, choose the Save command, look for the YouBB folder and save the idp file; as you can see the filename is automatically set based on the project name we just changed.

Initial save made, we can now dedicate ourselves to the database.
