Hi list,
I'm looking into converting a half-finished small timekeeping/billing
application of mine from .Net to Lazarus/Freepascal. It runs on SQL
Server 2008.
I'm thinking about trying to separate out the database layer (using
something like tiOPF perhaps) from the presentation layer.
I could then write a Lazarus GUI to deal with the data.
(Not even mentioning web interfaces for now, too much to learn ;)
While I'm doing that, I thought about using character mode terminals
(DOS or Linux shell) for quick data entry. I've once looked at
FreeVision (about 10 years ago), but was even more of a
Pascal/programming newbie than now, so couldn't get it to work.
Is it worth looking into FreeVision or could I better forget about it?
If so, I suppose the old FreePascal IDE would be a good example to study?
It should definitely work.
Whether it's recommended is another matter. I don't think so.
You'd be better of with a web interface then.
Michael.
