This document provides an overview of the Parse mobile app platform and how to get started using it. It explains that Parse is free to start, requires no server, and is easy to use across multiple platforms. It then demonstrates how to initialize a Parse project, perform basic operations like reading, writing, and querying data, implement user authentication, and call cloud code methods from a mobile app. Server-side code can also be written with cloud code and deployed to Parse.
![How to really get started
1. Add framework to project
2. Add import statement to prefix file
a. #import <Parse/Parse.h>
3. Initialize parse on delegate file
a. [Parse setApplicationId:@"" clientKey:@""];
4. Add code to read or write to parse.com](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/parse-com-130417142826-phpapp01/85/Parse-com-4-320.jpg)

[photo setObject:[PFUser currentUser] forKey:kPAPPhotoUserKey];

![Getting started: Cloud code
Install the command line tool:
curl -s https://www.parse.com/downloads/cloud_code/installer.sh | sudo /bin/bash
Create new project:
$ parse new MyCloudCode
Write functions:
Parse.Cloud.define("hello", function(request, response) {
response.success("Hello world!");
});
Deploy code:
$ parse deploy
Call methods from app:
[PFCloud callFunctionInBackground:@"hello" withParameters:@{} block:^(NSString *result, NSError
*error) {
if (!error) {
// result is @"Hello world!"
NSLog(@"%@",result);
}
}];](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/parse-com-130417142826-phpapp01/85/Parse-com-15-320.jpg)
