Tim: The story is long, but the steps for them are: 1. Set up an RFP that is targeted such that their cronies are the only ones that can deliver (ISP - Telco), thus every current vendor must partner with the telco. 2. Refuse to give out important interface information to various public

Hi, I highly recommend Active4D as your server side solution, assuming you plan to do more than a few days worth of web work. You will almost certainly have to work through many of the issues that Active4D would provide solutions for, and you almost certainly won’t do as good a job of it. The

Hi Keith, My app is still on v15 but I think the principles are consistent for what I've got to add. I'll also point out I'm much more a 4D developer than a web developer so I tend to keep my we apps on the lean and simple side. That said I keep the HTML out of 4D as much as possible. What's that

This is a very timely topic for me. We put a good chunk of our medical application on the Web back in 2004. Back then we used Apache up front, and then just used 4D to generate the HTML. We had 4D serve the HTML through a 4D Client back through Apache. It worked very well, and is still running

My overarching advice is start with the basics. No plug-ins, no javascript front end. It’s interesting that people want you to add a javascript front-end. I’m working on some React stuff now, so there’s a place for it, but I’d suggest you wait until you need it and not start there. 1. No

I’m partial to React, I use 4D methods to return JSON strings (via JSON Stringify on a C_OBJECT) Before choosing React, I build a proof of concept page with React and Angular (not AngularJS). React performed much better and was easier to learn because the React language is close to Javascript,

We do the REST API thing. Since 4D introduced the object type it is easier than before. For the frontend we use the Angular framework with a bunch of tools and widgets. In the backend we don't use any special thing, just plain 4D. We build a client/server application. At some customer sites a
