Create a basic application

Design complete applications

Data-driven web applications have 3 main objectives:

1. Connect to data sources.
2. Present (display) data in a visually appealing and user friendly way.
3. Enable users to perform specific actions on data.

This is how Stadium helps you design complete applications:

1 Data 2 Presentation 3 User interaction

Create a basic data-driven application

Design applications fast

A typical design process:

1 Connect to your data

Add a connector and queries or functions to retrieve data from a database, web service or file.

2 Design how you want to present your data

Add pages to your application, then drag-and-drop controls (labels, textboxes, data grids, drop-downs and other form fields) onto your pages.

Create a basic data-driven application (part 2)

3 Assign the data to your controls

Create event handlers consisting of scripts, actions, queries or functions that will assign data to your controls when specific events are triggered, e.g. when a page loads (event), the event handler could include a SQL query and a SetValue action to assign data to a textbox control.

4 Add functionality for users to interact with your data

Create event handlers consisting of scripts, actions, queries or functions that will execute when specific events are triggered by users, e.g. when a user clicks a button, the event handler could include a SQL query to insert form field values into a database.
