I recently received a request to update / improve a relatively simple application which is used for browsing a catalog of codes. The original developer of the application opted for a separate cd-rom based version (coded in VB) and web version (web version can be found here: http://www.icn.ch/icnpweb/).
With the possibility that I might be working on creating the next version of this browser - I was thinking I'd like to combine these as much as possible without having to create a separate cd-rom and web version of the application. I really think it should be implemented as a web app first then figure out a way to make it run off the CD (rather than the other way around). IMHO the web version will be the most useful for more people so the focus should be on that. But if I could also get it (or at least a striped down version of it) to run off a CD - that would be great! So my question is simply this: have you ever created a simple web app which could run both on the server and off a cd-rom? The only feature it would require, beyond serving static HTML pages is full-text search. My initial brainstorming came up with the idea to implement the application with google gears and then load a copy of it into an instance of portablefirefox (from portableapps.com) or webrunner then burn that to the CD. This (in theory) would create a read only instance of the application which could be run from the portable instance of firefox on the CD. Any other thoughts / approaches you might suggest? Thanks!
