I'm interested in reality, not theory. Go ahead and write some web-client C++, enjoy.[/quote]TheCatt wrote:Yes, it is.Malcolm wrote:That is simply not a true statement.
Which brings me to the other half of what I said...
"It's a matter of how painful each makes those things."
I've seen web clients written in fucking MIT Scheme LISP.

Yes. It was going to start on the android phone, because that's what I, and most of my techs carry. Am going to use MySQL for the DB and there's a mini version of it that runs on Android. For the admin portion, I don't want it to be a web app. Web apps seem clunky and cheap. Can't think of any professional application I've ever used that was a web app. There were portions of things that were configured with a web app. But I don't know of any app that is a web app from the ground up. But, at the same time, that's what everyone does at work, so that's what I will probably start out with because anyone I know that can/wants to help, makes web apps. I don't know any actual software developers. I only know people that make web apps for the company they work for.TheCatt wrote:For your app, have you considered making it a web/app platform?
Ideally, there's an iphone/android app for the field techs and an admin portion for dispatchers as well as accounting. A web portal for the techs to check their work, add files, etc would work though. But the dispatch part. Calendering, scheduling, dealing with work orders, etc. I can't imagine that running well as a web app.
Maybe I just haven't seen enough web apps.
And that's what I'm saying. . . for a full on commercial release, I don't think web interface cuts it. But, I do see it starting that way because the resources are more readily available. A proof of concept one might say.
Still no idea what language the main dispatch/admin part would be written in. I think C# would be safe and easy, but platform limiting. But then, how much would I really be limiting myself? How many contractors/help desks/etc are running anything but windows? Not saying there aren't any. Saying that it's a small enough market share that the return on investment probably wouldn't be there.

I work on a large commercial product that is nothing but a website front end to run DB reports. Web UI can do a lot.
Do you want to code for *nix or Mac? If the answer is "no," use .Net/C#.
