Day 1: Day one covers a general introduction to Web Connection and the new features in Web Connection 6.0. See the New Project Wizard and project layout and how new projects are easier to maintain and work with, and publish to your servers. We'll walk through the basics of setting up Web Connection and creating your first requests using the new project templates that make it easier to create nice looking applications from the start. Using the new Bootstrap CSS framework you can use our exsting base template, customize the template to your own design or integrate with some of the commercial Bootstrap templates available. On the first day we'll walk through creating a traditional server side HTML application using Templates and Scripts and HtmlHelpers for rendering HTML using an MVC like approach for building applications.
Day 2: On day two we'll delve deeper by building the same application we built on the previous day, using pure client side functionality using AJAX driven data access from a rich HTML client application.You'll see how to create an application using the popular AngularJS client side framework and interacting with a FoxPro backend. This session will focus on the JavaScript and mobile device aspects of Web development as well as building and managing a FoxPro based HTTP API Service using JSON to feed the client side with data.
This training is brand new and focuses on the new features in Web Connection 6.0, using familiar scripts and templates and MVC style development on the first day, and completely new development paradigm for building client centric apps on the second day. The content is appropriate both for beginners and accomplished Web Connection developers as sessions are full with hands on tricks and tips, and open to interactive discussion. Format is class-room style, with trainer led demonstrations in an interactive atmosphere - you drive the content through your interaction and questions.
Day 1 is appropriate for all levels of developers, although a rudimentary understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is very helpful. Day 1 includes an introduction to CSS that is relevant to using the Bootstrap CSS Framework since it is central to the new enhanced features in Web Connection 6.
Day 2 is more advanced and delves more deeply into more advanced JavaScript topics that are required to use Angular Js. There will be an overview of the JavaScript features you need to understand in order to use Angular JS efficiently, but it's still recommended you get yourself familiarized with JavaScript and CSS in order to follow the examples fully.
The workshop runs all day for two days, and breakfast, lunch and snacks are covered throughout both days. The first day also features a bonus session favorite tools, and a a Show and Tell of Web Connection applications (shown by attendees if there's participation) and a demostration of a few West Wind Tools.
