In the previous chapter, we learned that model-driven apps are designed (to an extent) to share the same type of development principles as canvas apps whereby you can create apps that are simple or complex in nature without the need to write code.
This chapter will help you understand how and when to use model-driven apps. The whole approach to model-driven apps is different from that of canvas apps in that we need to define more of our functionality around the data, and define more of it upfront before we actually start to build. Therefore, we will need to be aware of what these building blocks are and how we can use them. Finally, when we have our foundations in place and the building blocks at the ready, we can start to combine them all together to create our app.
In this chapter, we will look at how we can create our second type of app—a model...
