TOPIC

In October of 2023, the concepts of building RAD Server modules were introduced with the promise of a more advanced topic “soon”. Well, next month, we will finally dive into the deep end but this month a refresh of that introductory topic will be shared along with a quick database demo that produces a JSON list of customers. Additionally, a quick show-and-tell of an Android app written with the popular JavaScript framework, React Native will demonstrate how the JSON data produced is used.

This session will show some live customer data so it will not be recorded. The plan for next month is to use a test database with fictional data that we can show to a broader audience.
