Nettalk 9 apps - interesting stuff

[JohanR]

Hi Bruce

Thanks for Friday it was a quite an evening at Capesoft HQ.

Had plenty to think about since then.

The demo of the new "disconnected apps" looked slick and simple but I could see there was PLENTY happening under the hood.
Real nice touch I thought was the "second IDE"  gathering all the bits and pieces and contacting the service to create the mobile app.

Must be honest my brain is spinning a little bit with all the possibilities, where to apply this technology and how to implement.

The one thing I have not cleared up yet in my mind is what code actually runs on the device?
With a web app, there would be server side clarion code, but with this disconnected app what happens to the server side code?
How do we add the validation code to the app?

Perhaps I am missing the obvious <g>


cheers,

Johan

hi Johan,

>> The one thing I have not cleared up yet in my mind is what code actually runs on the device?

HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Which can include various PhoneGap plugins - about which there is much to explore as we go forward. No Clarion code on the device itself obviously.

<< With a web app, there would be server side clarion code, but with this disconnected app what happens to the server side code?

Beyond generating the actual pages, it's not used.

>> How do we add the validation code to the app?

All embed code in the app itself will be done in JavaScript.

cheers
