Altought I am not a programmer newbie, I am a revolution newbie. I fiddle with revolution since the early days when it went public for I was fond of hypercard, I am now in the process of buying a license to complete my first commercial product. The problem is that I think I am not using revolution's main power, I am using it like just another RAD tool, I could do the same with REALBasic. I Want To Know the Revolution way if you folks understand me.
I am using MacOS X but the software will be deployed on windows plataform. It's a collection of databases (more exactly tables) with multiple users accessing it. There are four databases (Students, Professors, Contacts and Projects). They should be able to alter data (insert, modify, delete) and search. I choose to settle for a MySQL DB running on a server, and make Rev hook into it. Pretty simple for now isn't it?
What I want to know is for example what is better, to create substacks for each part of the system (like a substack to fiddle with the Students, another to fiddle with Professors) or if I just go creating cards under mainstack. I'd like to know theory, like when to create substacks, how to use Revolution true power, things i could not do with another tool. It's just that I think I am doing things the hard way (not that is hard to do, but it might there be a easier way).
