MobiFlex - Data Management
If you signed up to try the MobiFlex app development tool, you may have done fine with the interface design only to bog down with the data management needed to make your app work. MobiFlex' data management interface is simple to use and the Google Docs spreadsheet model is familiar to any Excel user, but mapping data between these two tools can take some practice. That's what this short course offers.
In this course, you'll take an existing but static app and add the data management controls needed to make it live. You'll get an overview of MobiFlex' three types of data handling – web services, SQL, and Google Docs, before going into depth on Google Docs. You'll learn how to read and write data between the app and the spreadsheet, and update and delete data on the spreadsheet via the app. When you're done, you'll have a complete working app, using a Google Docs spreadsheet, that can serve as a model for your own apps.
This half-day, hands-on course is aimed at people who signed up to try MobiFlex but need some quick help getting up to speed on the data management. Some familiarity with MobiFlex screen design and Excel spreadsheets in general is helpful but not necessary. The only requirements are broadband web access and either an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2 or higher or an Android phone running Android 2.2 or higher.
