While I was at the seminar, I still would like more info on interfacing to a database via a thin client, not only getting data, but also updating and writing data to the database. I am interested in working with a remote database server (i.e. one that is not accessible via ODBC).

Thanks, Jerry!

Jim,

Sorry you couldn't come to the show. Both Richard Gaskin and I presented on this subject and Chipp Walters showed an incredible commercial product (Hemingway client application) during his talk on user interface. We showed product, some code, a transaction log, and Richard did an impersonation of a client application talking to an FTP server (VERY entertaining, but even more informative!)

If there is demand out there (and it sounds like there may be) for a starter kit for building thin clients that "go against" web servers to get files and data from a database, I could try and make the time to put together a couple of samples with well-documented code, etc.

Also, please indicate the types of "nuts and bolts" into which you'd like to delve.

Best,

Jerry

Hopefully, all that answers at least some of your questions. Let me
know if you have more.

I am one of the many Rev users who wish they could have been at the conference, and my main interest in going was the session on using Rev "thin clients" with a PHP/MySQL server. I have done some limited development in the past with DB-backed sites, and have groaned with frustration trying to make a decent user interface in a browser. I am giddy with the possibilities of using a Rev app as my front end for private collaboration sites I am working on.


Anyway, now I want to get into the nuts and bolts of this. Are there resources available from your session, or other resources for guidance/tips/examples on implementing this? Thanks.

Jim Lyons
