Intro to web applications

An introduction to web app development, CRUD, and Wized.

Today, you're going to learn what web apps are, and how you can build them without code.

We'll cover the following topics:

[What are web apps?]
[What are CRUD operations]
[What is Wized?]

So let's get started with the most fundamental question.

What is a web application (Web app)? []

A Web app is an application program stored on a server, and that gets delivered to your browser. Unlike with a mobile app, you need to have an active internet connection to use a web app.

You might not be aware of it, but you're using web apps all the time. Here a few examples of web apps:

That multi-step form you filled out while subscribing to a service is an web app.
Your favorite to-do tool is a web-app
Google docs is a web-app
That job board you looked at last night is a web app

In other words, a web app is a type of software that allows you to perform a specific task.

What does an app do?

An app get's an input from the user, and it displays an output.

Some apps are trivial, others are complex, but they all have something in common. All web apps perform at least some of these four functions:

Create data
Read data
Update data
Delete data

We call these functions CRUD operations.

Accepted Answer

dashboards

Learn how to navigate through the Wized dashboard, and set up a new project.

In this lesson, we'll get familiar with the Wized dashboard, where you can see a list of all your projects, and workspaces.

We learn how to:

Set up a new project Where to paste the Wized code in your Webflow project How to switch to a paid plan How to create new workspaces How to add collaborators to a workspace

Creating projects To create a new Wized project, click on the primary button in the upper right corner.

This will lead you to the next screen, where you can set up your project.

Add staging domain The first thing you need to do here is add a webflow staging domain of your project.

Add scripts to your webflow project You'll see two snippets of code here. To connect your site with Wized, add these snippets to your Webflow project.

Head over to your project settings in Webflow, and click on custom code.

Insert the first snippet inside the head tag of your project, and the second snippet inside the body tag.

That's it!

If you click continue, you'll see these two options.

You can either open the configurator and start working on your project, or you can switch to a paid plan.

Switching to a paid plan If you want to add your domain to the project, you need to switch over to the paid tier. To do that, all you have to do is select a plan below.

This section will appear after you've added Wized to your
