Differences between AppStudio and AppStudioEDU
- In these sessions, we have been using the full version of AppStudio.
- In the classroom, the students will be using AppStudioEDU.
- AppStudioEDU has the following restrictions:
- Cannot deploy to other than the Ministry's servers.
- Cannot compile apps with PhoneGap
- Cannot create Chrome Desktop Apps.
- Commercial apps cannot be produced.
- As part of this training, everyone here gets the full version.
- Students and and teachers will be able to buy the full version for half price.
Servers
- In these sessions, we have been using the nsbasic.com server.
- The students will be using the Ministry's servers.
- These servers need to be able to process http requests to run apps.
- They also need to support ftp so apps can be uploaded to them.
- Files that end in .appcache need to be served with mime type text/manifest.
- To test this, use http://web-sniffer.net/.
- Servers can be Apache or Microsoft IIS.
PHP
- PHP is a server side programming language
- When a web app talks to a server, the program on the server is most often PHP.
- There is increasing interest in JavaScript as a replacement.
