Quick Tour

In this Quick Tour we will recreate two AppMaker examples. The first, Temperature, demonstrates AppMaker's programming model, separating user interface (UI) from data "engine", and connecting UI elements to data elements. The second, AMReminder, shows many of AppMaker's UI elements, how to set Styles, and how to use Commands.

Getting Started

• This Quick Tour assumes that you have installed AppMaker onto your hard drive. We do not recommend running AppMaker directly off of the CD.
• Launch AppMaker. If you haven't previously entered your registration info, then do so now. If you don't enter a valid registration number, you won't be able to save changes. If you are a subscriber, your registration number is on the mailing label. If this is a new purchase, the number is on a sticker inside the CD mailer.
• If you are running a Demo version of AppMaker and don't have a registration number, you will still be able to create the examples, and to generate code. You won't be able to save your AppMaker document and you won't be able to specify where the code is generated. AppMaker will generate into the folder that contains the AppMaker application.

As a test to see if anyone actually reads this Quick Tour we have a contest. Details are later in the Tour. We will extend the winner's subscription.
