How can i create a mobile application server?

How does one create an application that reads and writes to a database on a local server?

• What is the easiest way to go about doing this? I have a fair bit of coding knowledge and can learn fast, but what is the quickest way to create a functional app which can take input from the user, allow for edits and generate reports. I just need to figure out how to create links between a front end program and a database and then move forward

• Answer:

  you can use web2py, a python based framework, just go through the introductory chapter of the manual for web2py and you ll be able to do more than what you want to do. it provides its own Database Access layer, which makes it very easy for server side code that renders the front to communicate with the database. a front end cannot directly read and write to the database, you need some code at the server side to that. web2py is pretty easy and fast, go for it.
