Challenge Overview
1.0 - Challenge Overview
Welcome to the Data Booklet Mobile App Backend Assembly challenge! In this challenge, you will need to build the backend for the new Data Booklet mobile application based on the architecture design. This contest will produce the full backend for the new Data Booklet mobile application (PhoneGap / Cordova).
1.1 - Project Overview
The client has an existing PDF reference guide called "Your Guide to Industrial Gases and Cryogenic Fluids" that they would like to convert into a mobile application. Currently, salesman and customers use this PDF reference guide that explains measurements and calculations of industrial gases and cryogenic fluid. The client has decided to convert this reference guide into a mobile application. Converting this reference guide into a mobile application will allow salesman to discuss their products with their customers and use their "handy and useful" mobile application to search and show measurements, calculations and conversions to help explain a sale or their products. Customers could also use it as quick reference guide while at work or in the field. The client needs this mobile app to be cross-platform, and they have decided to go with PhoneGap / Cordova.
This assembly will implement the backend of the application.
