- 6. Online databases • Key Databases for MIT APP INVENTOR • Fusion Table • Tiny DB • Web DB • Advantages/Disadvantages of each?
- 7. Web Databases • Many apps have data that is stored in a web server and shared amongst users and devices. Facebook and Twitter are examples of this, they would not refresh on airplane mode.
- 8. What do you want to store? • On the reverse of the large paper • List data to be stored, what format will this be stored in? Can you validate the data? • Look carefully at task five, how will you allow users to complete this?

Editor's Notes
- Persistent data is:information stored in a database or a file. data that lives even after a phone application or web session ends.Through air server demonstrate school twitter and runkeeper
- We will be looking at a common databse language tomorrow, which is SQLThis is used in fusion tables, and this is how it will connect with app inventorTable ID is the unique number for your table. It simply identifies it. Like your fingerprints identify you or in school your username or dinner pin numberTable URL is the website where your table can be viewed. Try copying and pasting this into a browser! API = application programming interfaceset of programming instructions and standards for accessing a Web-based software application or Web tool. A software company releases its API to the public so that other software developers can design products that are powered by its service.For example, Amazon.com released its API so that Web site developers could more easily access Amazon's product information. Using the Amazon API, a third party Web site can post direct links to Amazon products with updated prices and an option to "buy now.“ twitter provides api access to many many programs allowing all types of apps and software to tweet to your accountsSo our api key allows our data to go to app inventor. Think of it as a key or password!
