I'd strongly recommend you determine if it would be possible for your software to be "certified for e-prescriptions" if it was used as a web application. In that case, any web-capable device (iPad, iPhone, Android phone, Android pad Xoom, smartphone, netbook, MacBook or web-enabled TV) might be able to use your application and you wouldn't need to rewrite it for each proprietary platform. (Maybe adjust for geometry and resolution, though...) And the choice of the language to rewrite the web server in would be up to you (West-Wind Web Connect, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc.) as an internal decision. Writing rich-client apps natively on the machine may be necessary if you need to take advantage of their particular hardware (GPS, camera, etc.) but means a lot more effort up front, and a lot of dependency on the hardware vendor. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
