I/II: Using Tango Editor and Tango Building Blocks

How to Use Tango Editor/Details on Tango Meta Tags and Variables

This section of the Tango User's Guide gives details on the basics of Tango Editor, including the Tango Editor environment, working with Tango application files, Tango projects (including source control and deploying and downloading projects), working with data sources, snippets, and setting Tango Editor preferences.

This section also discusses two of the most important features of Tango application files: Tango meta tags and Tango variables (including variable scope and details on document instance variables).

This section contains chapters on the following topics:

• Chapter 2, "Tango Editor Basics"
• Chapter 3, "Using Projects and Source Control"
• Chapter 4, "Using Data Sources"
• Chapter 5, "Using Snippets"
• Chapter 6, "Setting Preferences".

• Chapter 7, "Using Meta Tags"
• Chapter 8, "Working With Variables"
• Chapter 9, "Document Object Model".

Chapter 2, the applicable parts of Chapter 3, and Chapters 4-5 in this section are strongly recommended for new users of Tango. Previous users of Tango may wish to examine in detail the parts of Chapter 2 that discuss Tango file formats, and applications; the parts of Chapter 3 that discuss new Tango project features (project dependencies and FTP); and the parts of Chapter 4 that give details on Pervasive.SQL data source integration.

Chapter 7 and a look through Chapter 8 are recommended for new users of Tango. Chapter 9 is recommended for anyone working with XML or structured data. Previous users of Tango may want to read the sections in Chapter 8 dealing with application variable scope, domain scope, and custom scopes, as well as Chapter 9.
