This is a step-by-step tutorial for your first application

 

It is designed to give you hands on experience on the most basic and essential skills you need to build apps with clearString.

If you have not yet done so, we suggest you watch the Video Tutorial first, and then get started.

 

If you are using a private-cloud or hybrid-cloud installation we have already covered installing the system for the first time in the Installation Guide.

Whether you are using your own cloud, or the clearString cloud service, all apps are created the same way

These pages guide you through understanding how to work with the components.

Terminology

All applications are built onto web pages - so the 'website' is the container that is used to deliver your application to its users.

You can later style the app just like a regular webpage, but this walk-through is about creating a basic data application in a deliverable way.

 

This tutorial will introduce you to four basic aspects of working with the system:

 

Part 1 - How to use your site to build an application

How to use the example site, and how best to use this walk-through Tutorial.

 

Part 2 - How to create the basic app container

Explains basic site construction and page editing tools.

 

Part 3 - How to use a Form and Email

Introduces the techniques for getting data into the system and using the integrated email system with a simple Inquiry Form to Email example.

 

Part 4 - How to work with Data and Queries

Introduces the advanced data-handling tools and techniques that are the foundation of Application Development. 

 

 

So, let's see how to use your Quick-start example...
