XForms is a Turing-complete XML-based declarative programming language for apps both on and off the web. This tutorial develops step-by-step a generic XForms application for managing data-sets. The tutorial takes the form of repeated short presentations followed by hands-on additions to the developing application. The end result will be an easy-to-modify application that works across various types of data sets. Examples of where the application has already been used are:

• Concerts performed by a choir over 65 years
• Reimbursement management
• Recipes
• A crowd-funding
• Bank accounts
• Stock supply
• Meeting minutes

The resulting generic application is quickly adaptable on the basis of a configuration file, a small CSS file, and small modifiable sections of XForms code. It will be a bring-your-own-device tutorial, and you will be required to install a small piece of software (a server that accepts the PUT method). The materials will also be available for self-study after the conference.
