I am pretty new to Sitecore SPEAK and i am looking for some of the basics to start with. Basics like even which version of Sitecore Supports SPEAK. I see that many places they mention that it is supported in 7.0 and few places say 7.1 version. I have a Sitecore 7.0 Version and when i open the Core database, i would like to know if i need to install any particular module as i dont see anything related to SPEAK.
This link is the sitecore's Official blog where they speak about it. But fail to mention the requirements. Sitecore SPEAK Blog- Introduction Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated
According to the release notes, the SPEAK UI framework was introduced in Sitecore 7.1. At least you need this version and the Sitecore Rocks Visual Studio plugin, as building SPEAK applications are not very handy to build within the Content Editor.
Here you find a summary of SPEAK documentations.
I would personally recommend to start with the blog post series from Martina Welander.
