Tutorial: Getting Started with the Basics

Welcome to the introductory tutorial for our platform. This guide will walk you through the fundamental concepts and operations you need to know to get started effectively.

1. Understanding the Core Concepts

Before diving into code, it's important to grasp the foundational ideas:

• Objects: The building blocks of our system. Everything you interact with is an object with properties and methods.
• Events: Mechanisms that allow objects to communicate. When something happens, an event is triggered, and other objects can respond to it.
• Properties: Attributes that define the state of an object. For example, a 'Button' object might have a 'text' property.
• Methods: Actions that an object can perform. For instance, a 'File' object might have a 'save()' method.

2. Your First Program

Let's write a simple program to display a "Hello, World!" message. This will involve creating a basic object and invoking one of its methods.

Example: Hello World

Here's the code snippet:

const messageObject = new Message();
messageObject.set_text("Hello, World!");
messageObject.display();
            

Explanation:

In this code:

1. We create a new instance of the Message class.
2. We use the set_text() method to assign our desired string to the object.
3. Finally, we call the display() method to show the message on the screen.

3. Interacting with User Input

Most applications need to respond to user actions. We'll cover how to handle basic input events.

Handling Button Clicks

Consider a simple button. We want to execute some code when it's clicked.

Note: In a real-world scenario, you would typically use an event listener to attach your code to the button's click event.

const myButton = new Button("Click Me");

myButton.on_click(function() {
    // Code to execute when the button is clicked
    const notification = new Notification("Button was clicked!");
    notification.show();
});

// Add the button to the UI (omitted for brevity)
