Numbers And StringsIn the last exercise we created a boolean, we will now use numbers and strings in FTD.
We have two types, integer and decimal for dealing with numbers in FTD. Integers are signed. integers and decimals are quite similar to booleans, we have the -- integer foo: 10 syntax to define them.
Strings in FTD do not use quotes, so a string is defined like -- string name: amitu. Also you can define multi-line string like this:

-- string about-this-workshop: FTD language is a possible replacement for JavaScript/React to build web front-ends. In this workshop you will learn the basics of FTD and build a web app that talks to existing web services. We will build an application for managing to-do lists from scratch. Basic knowledge of HTTP API is needed, but no prior knowledge of front-end is required. The workshop is taught by the creators of FTD, and you will learn about the motivation and design decisions that shaped FTD as well. In this hands-on workshop we will go through a series of exercises in stages and write code to get the application working. Participants are required to have a decent computer, but there is no need to install any software before hand (other than your favorite editor).
This makes FTD quite suitable for authoring content.
