Description

In the previous tutorial we've created the structure for the Safe2Save-website we want to make.

We will now extend the structure with the first basic functionality of the website. We will enable users to enter their cash balance and expected interest rate to the website. After submitting, they will see what their savings amount will be in 25 years.

In the next tutorial, we will return to the calculation-file again. We will make the savings-formula slightly more difficult, by adding a service fee to the calculation. In this way we can show you how you can work with tables in Futurama.
Working with tables isn't linked to any type of application. Therefor this is a general tutorial, that's also included in the other series of tutorials.
