Hey folks,
I'm looking for some general feedback & insights here. About 1.5 years ago I built a very small VFP App for one of the clients of the company I work for here. And, 1.5 years later - I found that the app is Rock Solid - with no bugs or crashes since it was originally implemented - and they've been using it all this time. Sure, its small - with only 1 main form - but, with like 5 pages of Tabs, like 2 reports, 2 types of data imports and 2 types of data exports. Its used to process e-comm orders, and attach tracking numbers to the Orders by communicating w/UPS Worldship (part of the data export & import). And, then it sends back Order confirmations to the main e-comm website. Now, we have another client, who is going to need this same App very soon. And, I have also been in discussion with my Boss about making it a general type App that can be sold to other Vendors across the USA who could use this same system. However, I think it's an EXCELLENT Opportunity for me to learn some new Dev. Tools. Since, this one new client who is going to need the App - won't need it for several months. That gives me time to convert the VFP app to another platform and also the time to learn new tools. I was already planning to use MS SQL Express as the back-end, since, any client that may use that App really should NOT have more than 5 people at a time using it. So - next, I was thinking about what to use for the front-end development. They use C#/.Net here - and I supposed I could also do development with that. But, I was also considering other options. I know a lot of people use PHP. I've heard of Dabo, but, don't really know anything about it. I know of Python & Ruby-on-Rails, and maybe one of those would be good. In the end, I want to see what YOU Folks suggest - as I know MANY of you on the list here are currently doing their main development using tech other than VFP!
