In the last article I wrote about how you can easily Backup your Podio App data into a MySQL Databse. Like I mentioned in that article, there are advantages to having your data in a MySQL Database.

This will probably be one of the more challenging articles I have written. The difficulty will be in guiding people through the different technologies in order to get this immensely useful functionality implemented for us Podio users.

Once you have an understanding of how Podio works, setting up the Apps and fields is extremely simple. I can create one in less then 5 minutes.
