Welcome to Travel Agency Knowledge Base documentation!
This Knowledge Base represents the development of an application for a travel agency.
Part of the application is intended for use by the travel agency's staff (Backoffice) to enter data about the countries, cities, and tourist attractions they offer, as well as information on flights, customers, and more.
Another part of the application is aimed at end-users (Frontend), enabling them to browse available tours and discover the main tourist attractions offered in each city.
Both the Backoffice and Frontend are developed for a web environment, and some of their functionalities are also accessible from mobile devices.
This documentation is intended to guide you through the GeneXus course (version 16).
Since GeneXus is multi-platform, you can generate your application in different programming languages, for various platforms, and for different databases.
GeneXus offers a Full version and a Trial version.
For the web part:
- When working with the Full version, you can choose to generate the source code in Java or .Net.
- Since the course was developed using GeneXus Trial, .Net is the language that can be used to generate the source code.
For the module on mobile devices:
- You can generate apps for Android cell phones or tablets, and/or for iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads. Both platforms are supported in both the Trial and Full versions. Android is used in this course.
GeneXus also allows you to deploy the application to the cloud, which saves you from installing a web server and database locally on your computer, as would be the case if you wanted to work locally. More specifically, with the Trial version, you can only prototype in the cloud (GeneXus uses the Amazon cloud). This greatly simplifies the installation and allows you to access the data entered into the application from mobile devices.
To keep track of all changes made to your application, use GeneXus Server.
