Hi, I highly recommend Active4D as your server side solution, assuming you plan to do more than a few days worth of web work. You will almost certainly have to work through many of the issues that Active4D would provide solutions for, and you almost certainly won’t do as good a job of it. The

Hi Keith, My app is still on v15 but I think the principles are consistent for what I've got to add. I'll also point out I'm much more a 4D developer than a web developer so I tend to keep my we apps on the lean and simple side. That said I keep the HTML out of 4D as much as possible. What's that

My overarching advice is start with the basics. No plug-ins, no javascript front end. It’s interesting that people want you to add a javascript front-end. I’m working on some React stuff now, so there’s a place for it, but I’d suggest you wait until you need it and not start there. 1. No
