Hi guys,

I have a question about app development. I'm fiddling with adobe experience design... I want to know whether you need a server to store user information. I'm a little confused, so let's say I make a website and I develop an app to go along with the website, like ordering food, etc. do I need to link the app with the server that the website is running in? :heated:

Yes, you need a way to communicate with the server from the app.

API based approach is best. Create an API that contains all your business logic and hooks up to your database. This API runs on a server.

Then you can create any number of mobile or web apps (websites) that hook into this API. Benefit being that your business logic is in one central place and not repeated in multiple places.

I have a team that can handle that all for you :). We handle the technical things, you do the exterior.

No, you can quite simply have the option to order and have the ordering system on the web - it's pretty straight forward.

Check this app I made back in the day: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jerk...816459888?mt=8 you dont need farhans team lol

It is a financially extremely risky proposition to invest for yourself or for your customers in a server platform, if you do not have a good idea of what exactly it is.

Hiring and spending on hired help for building the server platform is several orders of magnitude cheaper for someone who knows how to program by himself. Therefore, if you fail to learn even the very basics of software development, the odds will be stacked against you. You will not just be unable to do the work by yourself, worse, you will also not be reasonably able to outsource the work to other people.

My recommendation is that you spend at least a few months (3-6) learning the basics before proceeding carefully.
Possible starting point are places like codeacademy and coursera.
You could also not do it, but that will guarantee that you will certainly waste most of your or your customers' money.
It would be utterly irresponsible.
