Any tech minded people who could give me any advice on building an app? Have written a few websites before using dreamweaver but that was 25 years ago. A mate of mine wants an app for his Window cleaning business and I was wondering if there is a drag and drop software we could use? It will be a very basic app just offering his services. Hopefully with a calendar option for customers and an sms option for any offers he has on. He got quoted an absolutely extortionate price when going to a so tech firm and I'm hoping I can help him out as hes a small business that is really taking off in the shop windows sector. Thanks in advance for any help.
If it's an App, Java is the language for Android and Swift is Apple devices. You can write the software using Eclipse (Java) then release it. Actual website construction would depend on a few factors. If it's Windows based, then XML or HTML are the norms. PHP and Python too. Software platforms that support them vary, but their are free ones. Getting a person(s) to write the software will depend on cost and time constraints. If it's very simple with an SMS interface that can be created pretty quick. The main issue is getting a license to publish and release the App to the public webspace. GPL is a greag option.
I wrote an Android application for my Software Development MSc dissertation a couple of years ago. Used Android Studio as my IDE which I thought was pretty good. There is an element of 'drag and drop' to the front end development which is useful.
Wanted it to go vertical not horizontal. Otherwise you don't get the phrase BREAK - CONT repeats scroll?
Never had a ZX81. went straigh from a ZX80 to a Spectrum 48K. If I recall correctly that particular error message was introduced into Sinclair Basic then. 1982 ish.
I see you Vic 20 and raise you and Apple IIc, Commodore Amiga 512K, Dan 486-SX-25 which had an enormous 210Mb HD. I upgraded this to a DX/2-66 and added a quad speed CD ROM drive & soundblaster.
