Installing and Registering Alpha Anywhere
Installing Alpha Anywhere
Don't have Alpha Anywhere installed? No problem. The Installation Guide describes how to install Alpha Anywhere.
Registering Alpha Anywhere
Once you have Alpha Anywhere installed, the next step is to register the product and learn about the IDE. Alpha Anywhere Developer Environment: First Launch describes what to expect when you first launch Alpha Anywhere as well as walks you through registering the product and creating an Alpha Anywhere workspace.
Building Your First Application
After you have installed and registered Alpha Anywhere, you are ready to begin building your first application. Choose one of the tutorials below to start building your first Web or Mobile Application.
Our Getting Started Tutorials are broken into two tracks: Mobile and Web. If you need to build applications that will be used in the field and need to work with or without an internet connection, start with our Build Your First Mobile App tutorial. If your users will always have a network connection and typically work on a laptop or desktop computer, start with our Build Your First Web App tutorial.
Build Your First Mobile Application
In Build Your First Mobile App, you will create a mobile app that interacts with the Northwind database, an Access database that ships with Alpha Anywhere. You will learn how to build connection strings to interact with SQL databases and the basic building blocks of mobile applications in Alpha Anywhere. When you complete this tutorial, you will have a mobile application that is ready to deploy.
Build Your First Web Application
In Build Your First Web App, you will build your first web application using Alpha Anywhere's Flying Start Genie. In this tutorial, you'll build a web application with a Tabbed UI interface that can be used to manage data in the Northwind database, an Access database that ships with Alpha Anywhere. You will learn how the Flying Start Genie can be used to quickly get started building web applications.
Testing & Publishing Applications
Testing Applications
Working and Live Preview - Components can be tested and viewed using the Working Preview and Live Preview. Learn the difference between these two tools and how they can help you design and build Alpha Anywhere applications.
Remote Testing - Remote Test allows you to run your application on another device, such as a smartphone or tablet, that is connected to the same network as your computer. This step-by-step guide walks you through creating a Remote Test.
Publishing to the Local Webroot - A publishing profile defines where your web application is published. This guide teaches you how to create a publishing profile to publish your project to the local webroot. When you complete this tutorial, you will know how to publish and test your web projects on your development machine.
Deployment
Web applications and support files for mobile applications are deployed in Alpha Anywhere using a process called 'Publishing'. When an application is 'published', all of the files required to run and view the application online are compiled and uploaded to the Alpha Anywhere Application Server.
There are multiple deployment options available for publishing a web application. The publishing method you should use depends on which Alpha Anywhere Application Server you are running (IIS or Standard.)
Publishing to the Application Server for IIS
Publishing to a Remote Server running the Alpha Anywhere Application Server for IIS - The Alpha Anywhere Application Server for IIS offers many benefits over the stand-alone Application Server. If you are using the Application Server for IIS, you must use an IIS Publish profile to deploy your application, which utilizes the Web Deploy service in IIS to publish your application. The IIS Getting Started Guide walks you through setting up and configuring IIS for deploying applications.
Publishing to the Standard Application Server
Publishing to a Remote Server over HTTP/HTTPS - HTTP Publishing utilizes the Alpha Anywhere Application Server to upload the files for your application. Since publishing is done over the HTTP (or HTTPS) protocol, no additional ports or third-part applications are required. Simply configure your Alpha Anywhere Application Server to allow HTTP publish and upload you application. This step-by-step tutorial explains how to configure and publish an application to the Application Server using HTTP Publish.
Publishing to a Remote Server over FTP/SFTP - Applications running on the Alpha Anywhere Application Server can also be published using FTP. Use the built-in Alpha Anywhere FTP client or your own external client to publish your application to the remote server. Learn how create and use an FTP Publish profile for deploying an application.
Publishing to a Remote Server over the Local Area Network - If the server can be accessed through Windows File Sharing, a LAN Publish profile can be used to copy the files over the Local Area Network. This option is useful for web applications deployed to internal networks. Discover how easy it is to publish an application over the Local Area Network (LAN).
