Hey all, I'm a PHP/MySQL programmer by trade, so I'm not new to relational databases, etc, and I'm trying to get a handle on building a solid application with ooBase for a community television station here in Madison, Wisconsin. I've been able to use the forms wizard for a basic master and detail record but I need now to get into more complex application modules like a search form, multiple detail records, etc. I'm starting to get tempted to just chuck base and write a PHP/MySQL app, but I don't really want to get into something so time consuming when I'm sure Base can do what I want. I've Googled for tutorials and searched Amazon for books, but I can't find much Base specific stuff out there. Any recommendations for books or web sites to get up to speed on base stuff would be greatly appreciated. I'm now trying to figure out how to do what I need to do in design mode, but it's slow going.
