Connecting an Ionic app to an existing database - ionic-framework

I have an existing database that I want to connect to an Ionic app I've made. Ive seen people recommend Silex to make a RESTful api but I have no idea how to do so, and the tutorials I've seen use new apps, not existing ones. I just want to be pointed in the right direction since its all a little overwhelming. Thanks in advance!

How to connect Wix Database to my Xcode project?

hey few weeks backs I decided I wanted to learn to write code and understand the basics of it. The reason behind it is that I want to create an iOS app for my current online business. My business is all digital and I run my website through Wix. So as as I was dabbling with Xcode and learning the swift language, I though I found a way to create a super simple app, that would just display my mobile website using a simple WebKit View. It looked pretty good to me and it worked perfectly.
However when I sent the app for review to the App Store they rejected it because since I was selling digital content I was not allowed "to provide access to external payment mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the app".
So as I continue to learn more and more I found out that you can use Google's Firebase databases to create a log in method within your app. However, since my business is all through wix, I was wondering if there is a way that you can connect Wix's data bases to Xcode the same way that you can connect Firebase to Xcode? or is there a way that I can connect the Wix's database to Firebase and then have them interact directly through my Xcode project?
I apologize in advance If I am using wrong terminology. I have been working on this for a few weeks but I am eager to learn more. I would really appreciate some guidance. thank you.

Xamarin Mobile Device to SQLite stored on AWS Ec2

As the title goes, I need to connect a Xamarin built application to a SQLITE database stored inside a Amazon EC2 that is hosting a web app.
Now I agree not the most robust of set ups but i'm aware it can be done using RESTful API to build a web service and ideally host on Tomcat. But i can't find out how. Totally new to APIs.
That's all I need really. I've been down most avenues of Google and Xamarin support docs. But I really need someone to point me in the right direction as im seeing alot of broken links for Xamarin docs that revert me to Microsofts site. Or help find an example, anything would be heavily appreciated. I can only offer that if you answer my question you will make someones day and I will post a cute picture of a hamster.
Thanks!

How to configure an Ionic App with a MEAN stack

I'm trying to configure an ionic app with an express server and mongodb database for a personal project. I'm a beginner with this - I've set up and have been working with a MEAN stack outside of the Ionic framework, but have not been able to figure out how to structure the ionic app so that it can run on express and mongodb -- and will be able to emulate properly.
I've searched online, but there doesnt seem to be much out there on this topic. This is the closest I've come to an answer: http://thejackalofjavascript.com/an-end-to-end-hybrid-app/. But it still doesnt help me entirely. Any help is much appreciated.

Help asked for iPhone and Android app

Im new to the development of apps and i've got some questions.
First let me tell you about the app i need to make.
As an intern at a company i need to develop an iPhone and Android app, they want me to create an app that is based on a existing CRM database.
I need to get data from the database and show it on the iPhone, this data should be edited and send back to the database.
The company itself does not has experience in the development of mobile apps.
EDIT:
The requirements i wrote above are the basic of the application, it will have alot more functionality implemented after the basic has been made. Something like an auto sync, either the database or phone will sync with each other once in a while. And when you are called on the phone it will also check the number in the database and if found the name is displayed instead of an unknow number. Just 2 things that should be implemented after the basic app
Is such a thing possible with an iPhone/Android?
As i have no experience with Objective-C, and little experience with java
Is it easy to learn, i have good knowledge of C#
What platform could you suggest for me?
As i need to develop for both iPhone and Android,
What is the quickest way of developing for both at the same time?
i've done research but as i do not have an mac at the moment i can't try stuff out for the iPhone.
Titanium Appcelerator is something i liked, and since this works for both iPhone and Android i think this might be a good option. But as i do not have any experience i want some good advice from those who have experience before i start programming.
tnx in advance,

You can also try PhoneGap.
You can use web services to connect to databases
As per your requirements, use Titanium Appcelarator, which will make you write your code in JavaScript, and will generate apps for both, iPhone and Android.
What you're wanting it to do is fairly simple and shouldn't introduce a lot of complexity before you.
Go ahead with Appcelerator, if you don't want to spend a lot of time learning Android SDK and Objectiv-C
It sure is possible to access/change databases.
If you have good C# knowledge then getting started with Java should not be an issue for you.
I think it should be quite easy to implement for Android, but I also have no experience in iOS development (donĀ“t have a mac)

Where should I start with a facebook application?

I am thinking about developing a fairly simple facebook application which i have modelled the database in access.
I have web space and mySQL databases available, but I was wondering if anyone could point me towards any guides for facebook development? I had a search a while back, but they all seemed rather out of date. Anyone know where I should start with this?
I don't want to really share exactly what my idea is, but its a rating system for a particular set of products.
I haven't done much PHP before, only edited my wordpress template, and I do know enough SQL I hope.
Use the following links to create and configure ur application on facebook:

No need to go through a bunch of small tutorials when you can find out just about all you can do through this book. It seems to be lacking on building a facebook app with an iframe though.
