You need HTML CSS and JS to get something workable

Ok, I haven't had my coffee yet. It moves the forms to HTML, not
Javascript. My bad.

/Transpile to .js/
Rich Hassler modified Feltman's F1's code generator to create JavaScript
forms, and it works surprisingly well (though not perfect). Of course
that's only the UI but if everything is separated you can keep the back end
on Fox and make web calls.
I'm trying to persuade him to come to SWFox and demo it.

I think everyone should be aware that Anders Hejlsberg (Turbo Pascal,
Delphi and C#) is now on Typescript. This speaks volumes. In my opinion,
the future is in the browser. Projects like asm.js, webassembly and in
particular WebGL with ,three.js or babylon.js, are going to blindside
desktop apps.
I am quite literate in C#, still use VFP daily but the future "platform"
is
JS. I just wish some people would team up to make a dBase-esque language
that could transpile to JS. In the context of the client (browser,
electron, Cordova) it makes sense if you treat data as cursors, on the
server (node.js) it makes sense as a database backend.
But what JS gives you with asynchronous calls, it takes away with the
added
code complexity due to callbacks. However, with JS Promises things have
started to change. Regardless, as a business rules specific language JS is
not as readable as VFP. So I think that a transpiler would be awesome. One
can only hope.

I know of a bank that spent upwards of 30M trying to port a VFP app,
that
had been developed over 15+ years with a group of developers, to .NET -
all got dumped. 30M+ wasted. Back to using VFP for now. Not suggesting
it
can't be done but in this case an extreme amount of business logic in
the
app and the task is mammoth.

I worked for a company that produced Real Estate software for the
commercial side of things. We had a national client that said they were
leaving our product to develop a new .NET solution with another company.
They returned after 1.5 years and after spending $2.1M. They started
asking us for enhancements again. Ouch.
I'm figure throwing away a working system *may* work, but most likely
it's
an expensive lesson to someone.

Kevin,
At our user group we were told by a Microsoft representative (well
known
to
the Fox community) that Dell was throwing away all their internal
applications **sight unseen** to rewrite them in the beta version of
.NET
1.0.
I wonder how that turned out?

I think I'll stick with Foxpro and now Xojo for developing business
solutions.
I don't hate .NET. I'm just going to continue to ignore it.

It has morphed from the .NET you all hated so much 15 years ago.
They
show
working in Chrome and not Bing.
the beginning goes over NuGet if you are unfamiliar with posting
packages
to it.
