Tutorial 2 - Create your first app

About this tutorial​

This tutorial will guide you through creating a fully functioning app called "Poll" that allows you to host a poll of multiple choices and share it with other people.

You application will look similar to this: picture 1

Requirements​

It's good to define what you are building in advance.

The app allow you to host only one poll and share it with other people. Some additional requirements:

  • Users will be able to change the poll's main question
  • Users will be able to add, edit, and delete voting options
  • Users will be able to vote
  • Users can reset the poll to start from scratch

Prerequisites​

To sucessfully complete this tutorial you will need to:

  • Have Internet Computer SDK installed. Look at Tutorial 1 for more information.
  • Learn basics of Motoko programming language. I will explain some of Motoko constructs here. However, it would not hurt to have a general feel of the language before we start here.
  • For this tutorial I will use Visual Studio Code to edit code
