CapeSoft |
| The goal is to produce a WebServer app, API Server app and Mobile PWA app from scratch using NetTalk. We’ll assume no prior NetTalk experience; if you are new to NetTalk, then this will provide some deep insights into what is possible, and if you are a practised NetTalk coder you will discover new options, features and techniques. Not limited to mobile, the sessions will be useful for those interested in just creating an API server or a Web server. The focus during the online sessions will be the on the server. The focus during the onsite sessions will be the on the PWA application. This will supplement rather than replace Web Server training from CIDC 2020. |

| The aim of the training is to provide a good “everyday” working knowledge of several of our products. To accomplish this in a manner that provides real value to you moving forward, we plan to create a fully functional skeleton product suite for you to use and re-use in the future. It will include :- – a Desktop multi dll solution. Its interface will use several of our tools to implement a fresh, modern and more importantly highly usable UI (tools include Codejock, HtmlEditor and G-Visuals) – a Data Synchronizer. This will be responsible for synchronizing data both inward and outward against popular APIs such as Google Calendar, WooCommerce, QuickBooks Online and Microsoft 365 / GMail. This will use the Chilkat toolset to perform all of the API communication functions including OAuth2 connections, building of Json / XML data structures and Restful reads / posts / puts. – a Web Server. This will allow users to both view and update the data via a responsive web site. It will also provide a functional Calendar and a Dashboard view of selected aspects of the data. To accomplish this, we’ll use a NetTalk WebServer and the DevExtreme JavaScript UI toolset. |
