I own a small business and have a need to build some “departmental” solutions to add value in our business.
We looked around and because of a past life was going to go revert back to Filemaker Pro but this lacked what we were looking for in scalability and deployment (Web and Client etc) and SQL integration including remote locations. I stumbled onto Servoy and spoke to a few people and we believe we have made a great choice.
I am looking for some guidance in getting started on the programming side of things.
I do not know any javascript or similar languages but learnt programming at University so the concepts I am cool with just need to learn what is needed.
Where do I start beyond the online tutorials ?
I live in Australia and their is no training over here. Webinars are in the middle of the night…
Does someone know of an idots guide or a step by step approach to mastering Servoy funcationality.
learn this
Do this
Then to this…
Should I go and learn JAvascript as most people seem to say how similar this is to Servoy.
Also open to suggestion that I employ someone if so what skills / experience should they have.
Another Aussie!! we are on a roll. Give me a call. Happy to talk FMP vs Servoy and how we got going.
There is an excellent FMP to Servoy reference guide published by Servoy.
Adrian McGilly has an excellent Beginners guide to Servoy “The Servoy Beginner’s Handbook” You can access it at www.mcgilly.com
Make sure to watch all the tutorial movies on servoy.com. There are very good, easy to follow and should give you a good starting point to developing your own solutions.
Also, have a look “under the hood” of the sample solutions, this should give you a good idea how to achieve certain design and scripting concepts.
As mentioned, McGilly’s guide is excellent also.
After all that, if you get stuck, search the forums, 99% of the time the question you have will have been answered before.
That’s basically how I started with servoy anyway…
