What will we be building?

Trumpets, please! We will be building a simple user management web application without a server-side database. Instead, we will be using HTML5's local storage. This will allow us to get going with DHTMLX quickly without being bound to a specific server-side language.

For the application, we will be using the Layout, Grid, Toolbar, Form, Chart, and Window components from the DHTMLX library. The app will provide the ability to add, delete, edit a user, and see charted data of those users in the system.

The following screenshot is what our final application will look like:

When you are finished with this book, you will have a good understanding of how to get the DHTMLX components to work together in a web application.
