Just started looking at Wolfram Alpha so apologise in advance for my ignorance (I am familiary with traditional languages like C, JavaScript but also a bit of XSLT and Lisp).
Anyway, I thought I'd try to write a program that would allow a user to supply a URL of an image and then it would count the number of faces it found in the picture - thinking I should be able to do this in half a dozen lines of code.
Well, I fall at the first hurdle !!! I try using InputFileld to capture a URL from the user - the textbox appears fine but I can't seem to access the value entered i.e. pictureurl = InputField[] just doesn't set pictureurl !?!?!?
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Also, on a seperate note - do I need to prefix every line with 'CloundDeploy' in order to 'save it' to the cloud - this seems crazy to me who is more used to the develop -> compile -> deploy way of coding.
All hints/tips will be gratefully received.
Jim
