In this episode, we'll be talking with Don Gingold of Sprocket Websites as we look at a cool passion project for his wife. She is an author an Agatha Christie novel enthusiast. Don is looking to build a site to support his wife's new book and we'll be taking a dive into how structured content can help achieve some of the goals they have for the website. This is Part 1 of a multi-part live stream where you can learn how to build a custom app using 2sxc from the ground up!

Today we focused on enhancing an existing view/template to render not only a list of all the glossary terms, but also the details for a single glossary term. We used some nice Razor logic to check for the existence of a an "id" querystring parameter value and make sure it has a valid data type. From there we rendered a different block of code for the list versus for the details. We capped it off with some basic UX work and now we have a fully functional app with related entities, and much more!
Today we focused on building out a view/template for visualizing all the glossary terms and their associated information on a page. We covered how to reference field data within the template and to even handle some more advanced features, like conditional display of a field ("Read More..." button) and how to list all associated of books for a given glossary term.
