Introduction

Use your PhixFlow sandbox to make a simple application. This application will have a single screen, called a layout, that displays data and lets you create, read, update or delete (CRUD) data records. You can additionally add comments.

Some things are already set up for you:

  • a simple model to provide the data.
  • a palette of components that you can drag onto the layout.
  • styles that control the colours and appearance of the screen.

Remember that you can:

  • build models using your own data stored in external databases or files. The Introduction to Modelling Course teaches you how to do this.
  • set up your own styles and palettes to create completely customised layouts. The Building Applications Course goes through this process.
