I’m not sure if this is the best place for this topic, apologies if it’s in the wrong place.
I’m looking to get an application developed that helps with planning weddings. I wish the application to be available on all the major smart phones but also on a website. Now I know Unity can do this.
What I need is for the App to synchronise data between the different versions.
Example: A User registers on the website, uses the various elements on the website and subsequently “saves” what they are doing on the website. If they subsequently log in to the iPhone App ( or Android Tablet etc.), I would need this user to be the same user as on the website and I would wish them to have access to the exact same data that they entered into the website. Once they “save” their data on the mobile platform, that will then be accessible the next time they accessed it via the web.
I’m also looking for someone to help with the development of this application.
Is this possible with Unity?

It is. Basically you need a database and webservices. Is like a site without front end.
Thanks for our answer.

OP,
This is something that is done all the time on normal web development projects using a server-side language such as PHP and using that to handle sessions and communication with a database that would “Save” your data.
You would be doing something similar to that but instead of your web front end you would be using your Unity Application to interface with your database, but the underlying languages to do so would still be the same.
If you haven’t done any of that before I would read up on PHP (Server-Side Language) and MySQL (Database). And learn the basics.
If I can recall correctly, the 10.0 release of Zend Studio allows you to build for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile. I don’t know if this project you have in mind is requiring of any Unity specific features, or just the ease of multiplatform building, but you may want to look into Zend Studio if you decide to go the PHP/MySQL route.
Thanks for all the advice folks, and thanks for the tip on Zend Studio. I’ll look into that.
