Summary: Maintaining usability, performance, and data integrity is a difficult balancing act when trying to deliver the best applications for your users. The “local file” technique goes a long way to maximize all three of these areas in applications. In this session, we will share how to implement this technique and some of the novel uses we came up with over the last six years.
This technique is like using super global fields, adding all the power of relationships, calculations, and summaries while still being session-bound. With this added flexibility and power, there are countless things that suddenly become possible. By adopting this technique, we have been able to build more performant, more accurate, better looking, and more functional applications.
