<CXP/> versus Xb2.Net, Which way to go ??

#1 Post by unixkd »

I want to get begin with internet application but confused about the tools to use. It would be fantastic if we can have a product like Real Basic Web for Xbase/Express++ with the following lifted from realBasic web site:

Introducing Real Studio Web Edition, the fastest, easiest way to build web 3.0 applications

Web applications can be time-consuming and expensive to build. The visual tools used to create user interfaces for desktop applications are practically non-existent for building web applications. Often, you need to master several different web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, CSS, AJAX, and PHP or Java just to get the job done.

Real Studio Web Edition does away with the need for all that. It provides a completely visual, drag and drop interface builder that saves hours of time when compared to coding HTML and CSS by hand. Its high-level, object-oriented language allows you to focus on your application’s logic using a single language. Also, the user interface controls provided are supported for all the popular browsers, saving hours upon hours of time testing applications on different browsers.

Real Studio Web Edition includes patent pending technology.

Real Studio Web Edition is the most powerful development tool for the web.

1. It's easy to learn.
It's very easy to learn compared to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and AJAX.

2. It's fast to develop.
Develop 30 to 50 times faster than with traditional web development tools.

3. Build seriously secure applications.
Your applications are binaries so they are very difficult to hack. Read more about security

4. Easily sell your software.
Since it’s compiled to machine code, your IP is secure.

5. Create a better UI.
It comes with lots of great UI widgets. Your applications can even have a desktop-like look and feel.

6. It's a lot faster than PHP.
Your applications are compiled to machine code for fast execution.

7. There is optional integration.
Need to include some HTML, JavaScript, or CSS in your page? No problem. You can do it using our WebSource control.

Thanks

Joseph

Joseph -

I think that <CXP/> has a lot of promise, but currently it can not be integrated with Xb2.Net.
I have spoken to Boris Borzic and Steffen Pirsig about this with the hope that they would work together to make this happen.
My current understanding is that Boris is now waiting for an update to Xbase++ 2.0 that requires some major structural changes before he can start his work on this.

For now, you would need to use IIS or Apache as your web server, using FastCGI.

Thanks Roger

From the features of RealBasic Web, you see that it will not require one to learn HTML and other stuffs. Simply put, you develop Web application like desktop applications, If Boris can think along this line it will be great. Just like Xb2.net, RealBasic application is the web server.
