I am very new to Revolution and am still trying to grasp the idea of designing software around stacks and cards. Bruce Eckel's 'Thinking in Java' book really did work!
I am creating an electronic version of the Quran (Islam's Bible) and would like some advise on how to proceed.
I have opted to store the contents of the Quran in XML files rather than a database as this will mean a very simple installation process for the end users. Each XML file would contain a chapter of the Quran (114 chapters in all), each chapter varying in length from just a few verses to almost 300. The software would allow the user to traverse (backwards and forwards) through the Quran, one verse at a time and would keep a record of the verses visited during any one session (much like a web browser). It is important these features be implemented through direct use of Revolution's capabilities wherever possible, rather than being custom built by me.
Coming back to the subject of this posting 'the stack metaphor' how should I implement the above? Should I create a card for each verse (based on a template)? Or should I create a single card, whose fields I update to show the current verse? If I opt for the single card approach will this force me to create code to remember the verses a user has traversed, rather than just using Revolution's built in ability to traverse a stack?
Thanks in advance.
