Getting Started Guide - instructions completely inaccurate

Support
1

So wishing to start from the beginning, opened the Getting Started Guide and trying to follow the instructions.
The guide does not relate to the program menu options, so how is a newbie meant to find out how FIVE works.
This really is very poor.
Is there an updated i.e. correct version of the Getting Started instructions available?

Hi Chris,

there’s a seven-step YouTube video tutorial that you can follow here:

Creating A Membership App | Step 1: Database Tables | Five.Co - YouTube

Seriously?

That U-Tube video is appalling;-

  • The quality of the video is very poor
  • The diction of the commentator is very poor
  • The example he is trying to talk about is not completed, and then erased, so the whole video is about building a table with 4 fields and showing that FIVE can automatically generate a primary key – hardly amazing. This can be done in access, just as quick and with better support.

Nobody can really learn how FIVE is meant o work to enable a developer to build a relational database and check and if necessary, correct the keys that are auto generated.

This has to be one of the worse adverts for a program that I have seen in a long time.

Do you actually have any real-life companies that use this software?

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,

the video is part of a YouTube playlist that takes you through the steps of building an app in Five, which I’d encourage you to watch from video 1 through to video 7. I have also emailed you separately to connect with you one-on-one in case you’d like to discuss your use case with us in more detail.

Best
