Mobile forms UI remains a critical focus for developer training at Alpha Software.
We have been seeing some great feedback on the Mobile Form Forums in the last two weeks during the beta. This post is intended to highlight some interesting conversations, ideas, projects, or threads from our mobile forms beta program. The tablet forms beta is available to any and all current customers.

In the Mobile Forms Forums
This week, we want to highlight a few Hot Topics in the Beta Forum:Tablet Training Videos: What do YOU need
We want to gather feedback about the type of videos users need. People have been suggesting some great topics, including resizing images before uploading them to the server and generating dynamic question lists. We're always looking for more suggestions.
Introduction to the FormView Control
Learn about the FormView Control, one of the core components of the new tablet features. Scott Tepper, a beta user, had this to say about the video: "A very helpful video. Recommended viewing."
Custom Keypads
Dan Bricklin, Alpha Software CTO, produced an excellent 45 minute video about how the kepads in the sample tablet app were built, providing the base knowledge needed to adapt the keypads to your own applications. We'd love to know what kind of keypads you will need for your tablet applications.
Problems Adapting the Demo App
This thread has produced a lot of great information, including how to to build a tablet application backed by a SQL data source. You can also download Bob Beadell's modified Sample App, which he is modifying to meet his particular needs.
