Hello Gliders!
We’ve got a bunch of updates for you this week, in addition to the usual roundup of new feature releases and bug fixes. Check em:
Diving into SQL data sources
SQL data sources are a powerful addition to Glide, but not everyone is familiar with what SQL is, how it works, or what the implications are for their Glide apps.
That’s why we’re taking the next couple of weeks to create and curate resources that’ll help you get acquainted with using SQL databases.
That includes:
- How to build a custom GUI on SQL data using Glide
- How to build and deploy progressive web apps with Glide + Neon
- Community resources for learning & working with SQL data
…and we’ve got more on the way!
