Syntax Guide for Beginners

I have very little coding experience but I want to learn how to create buttons in my application.

Where can I find resources for beignners that explain elements and syntax requirements for writing formulas, such as API calls, in Quick Base?

    Here are some ideas

    Dowload the App from the exchange called URL Formulas for dummies

    Download Kirk Tracy's  app called Magic Buttons and download a fresh copy every 3months or so to get his latest updates.

    Hi Howard,

    The Magic buttons app Mark links is a great reference for getting started looking at the options for creating custom buttons. If you are interested in the Quick Base API overall I would also recommend our API Reference Guide that you can find here:
