FAQ

How do I learn JavaScript?

JavaScript is both very powerful and simple programming language. You may find number of online tutorials available, just search the web.

Please notice that, while most tutorials teach you how to use JavaScript embedded within the web-page, SHARPOID does not support these features and related objects (DOM, etc.), since sharplets are not web-applications.

Just learn the language syntax and use the objects and functions available to SHARPOID platform.

What's the catch with the name and the logo? Is it somehow related to C#?

No :-) While we like C# language very much, it is more related to the alternate meanings of the word sharp: being precise, distinct, smart.

What does message "Application X is protected" mean, when trying to publish?

This means that you can not modify the application - it is read-only. If you need to modify such application, publish it under different name. Use the "Save As..." button.

I got message "The application's digital signature cannot be verified. Do you want to run the application?". What do I do?

If you received such message on your screen, just click RUN and accept the certificate. If you wish to supress further messages check "Always trust content from this publisher" check-box.

Note: Java Applets are deprecated. Web version will be replaced by HTML5/JavaScript.

Is it possible to create standalone Android application?

Not yet. You would have to sign the app before publishing on the Market or deploying to devices. This means you have to rebuild the app using Android SDK and your signing keys. Most likely it would be rather simple task of using blank template project (a stub) and Sharpoid run-time library provided by us, and placing your compiled app as a resource.

Is Sharpoid free?

Yes!
