Quick Start Guide (Local)
Welcome to Five!
This guide demonstrates how you can use Five to quickly build and launch a web application from scratch. The exercises are based on developing a Portfolio application to manage a collection of financial investments.
Below is a short video to show you how stage one of the Portfolio Base application developed in Five works.
The Quick Start Guide is built sequentially. It is highly recommended to complete all sections before moving on as each subsequent module relies on the data established in previous exercises.
These exercises are for the free desktop version of Five.
