As I have already said before, I earn my life with a web application entirely made with Gambas. So I will say yes. To create a Gambas web application in a few words: - Create a project that uses the gb.web component. - Your project will create an executable that will be a CGI script. So learn how to configure your web server so that it can run your gambas executable as a CGI script. - Each HTTP request will run your program as A CGI script, and you will have to print the answer on the standard output. - The Request class will give you the request sent by the client (either GET or POST). - The Response class will be used for forging the request answer. It will send it on the standard output for you. - The response can be buffered (i.e. sent only when you call the Response.End method). If the response is buffered, it will be compressed if the HTTP client asks for it. - The Session class will be used if you need session management, i.e. maintaining data associated with a user, everything being based on a cookie. - You can debug your web application without a web server, by using the "embedded HTTP server" debugging feature. - Create your web pages with WebPage "forms" in the IDE. Their syntax is like ASP pages, if you know them. - Send the HTML of your pages with the WebPage.Render method. - Put everything in your project (image, CSS, javascript files). The IDE syntax highlighter handles CSS and javascript, as well as HTML and WebPage.
