I have both the BDS2006 & RAD 2007 versions of Delphi. I'm currently using the BDS2006 version as I could never get the help feature to work with RAD 2007 for my windows order entry application. This application uses dBase files. I'm also using the following 3rd party components: Infopower 2007, AceReporter, JEDI, & SMImport. The customer is a small manufacturing company which has a WinXP Pro peer-to-peer network, the workstations are mostly WinXP with perhaps 1 or 2 Vista machines.
I need suggestions/recommendations with the following: 1) I essentially have no database experience except for dBase, Paradox and Access. If I eventually want to have this application so that customers could enter orders on the web what do you recommend I consider for a database 2) My customer would like for his customers to be able to access the application to determine the status of their orders. What have you found that enables concurrent users to do this? 3) Has anyone been able to take a Win32 application and make in work as a web application? Where do I start? What version of Delphi do I use? What database? Was the conversion process very time consuming and costly? 4) I have tried viewing and studying the demos/examples that came with my versions of Delphi to learn how to create a web application. I guess I'm dense but I'm having a difficult time with these. A few months ago I had the opportunity to work some with Visual Studio. I found tons of tutorial videos and examples that help tremendously with the learning curve. I haven't found that with the Delphi examples that I have. Does anyone have any recommendations? 5) All I am is a guy that always wanted to be a programmer but never really had the opportunity to program day in and day out. So I'm always in these huge learning curves. I sincerely appreciate any suggestions you can give me. Thank you so much, Charlie Charlie Kerscher 'A Magisterium Faithful Catholic' Williamson GA Cell: 770.468.1757
