Thanks Piotr, Harbs for your answers. I decided to give it a shot during my spare time. I updated / installed everything I should (maven, node, jdk, …) and installed Moonshine IDE. I’ll try IntelliJ later because it’s more complex to configure I guess.
Also I installed royale-compiler, ..asjs and …typedefs through npm. Since Moonshine at this point will only be able to start from an existing project, I’d like to know where to find ready-to-use example projects? @harbs: it will be a multipage project! Does Royale support viewstacks? Or how multiple pages would be managed? thx, Dany > Op 1 dec. 2017, om 12:47 heeft Piotr Zarzycki <[email protected]> het > volgende geschreven: > > Hi Dany, > > First of all this is wonderful news that you are considering Royale as one > of the technology to build your application.
