https://nwjs.io/ and https://cordova.apache.org/ although don't be surprised if reading those pages leave you with more questions than answers. Both talk about Node as if you already know what that means (it's a JavaScript server that can runs on your local machine as well as internet servers) and that you understand the NPM is the Node Package Manager. There's an awful lot of acronyms and and shortcuts used in the Javascript world and easy to feel like an outsider could never climb the learning curve, but it's not really that bad. It is all [NF], though. Paul's thread seemed to start off talking about a FoxPro app and then, *Whoosh* off he went into the new shiny tech. I decided there was so much new technology and acronyms and increasing rate of change that it was impossible to keep up alone, so I choose to join a company of fellow experts. In 1995. Not much has changed, in that respect. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4txepjikpok-yw2u3bj1of4hfz-da4mpcb2b8mamo2...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
