Last week, Nick and I spoke with TJ VanToll about NativeScript in Action, our new book from Manning Press. If you’ve ever been interested in what it takes to write a technical book, take a look. It’s a short 15-minute video.

Gentlemen,
I reviewed the NativeScript in Action table of contents and did not see a chapter on databases. Do any of the sample projects include CRUD operations or did I miss something ?
Thanks
Thank you, Danny.
We do not specifically have a chapter on using embedded databases with NativeScript. There are quite a few options, like Firebase, Couchbase, interfacing with REST APIs, etc.
Here are a few resources to get you started:
Jen Looper wrote a good post about getting started with Firebase and NativeScript at https://firebase.googleblog.com/2016/01/getting-started-with-nativescript-and_53.html.
Nic Raboy has a series of posts on Couchbase and NativeScript. Here’s one to get started: https://blog.couchbase.com/couchbase-mobile-in-a-cross-platform-telerik-nativescript-app/.
If you follow along with TJ VanToll’s Groceries app, you’ll learn about REST APIs and getting data from them: https://github.com/NativeScript/sample-Groceries.
