FAQ

On this page you find answers to some questions that might help you to get a better understanding of how the BagaWork universe works.

What is BagaWork?

BagaWork is a framework one can use to implement simple smartphone apps. The framework has been designed to be very easy to learn and use, so it is a very good framework to use for those who want to learn implement apps and learn programming at the same time.

What is a framework?

An app requires a lot of code to function. No one has the time to write all of that code themselves each time they create an app. Instead, some experienced programmers create frameworks to help. A framework contains most of the code needed for a general app to function, and then you just provide the last pieces of code the framework needs to make the app function the specific way you want it to work.

What is BagaLand?

BagaLand is this website that you are currently viewing. It can host the BagaWork apps you create, so you and other users can run and install them on smartphones.

What's the difference between an app, a public release, and a secret release?

On this website, when you create a new app, only you (the creator) have access to that app.

When you want to make your app available to others, you create a new release of it. A release will contain a copy of your entire app at the time the release was created, and it is the release that will be accessible to other users, and not the "app" itself; the "app" itself is still only accessible for you, and you can continue to make changes to it without the users running your app receiving those changes, because they will run the old copy of your app in the release you created before. Whenever you want your latest changes to your app to be used by your users, simply release a new version of it again. Users will always run the latest release of your app.

A public release is a release of your app anyone on this website can find and run. A secret release on the other hand is a release of your app that only those you send a specific link to can find and run.
