Hi Everyone,
I'm here and continuing to program in Witango for my existing clients.
I found it very interesting to read how hard it is to convert a
Witango application
to PHP since I don't know PHP. Years ago I learned ColdFusion and converted
a Witango application back then.
I found it extremely easy to do the conversion. The two languages were very
compatible in how they did things. In fact, mostly all I did was promote the
html result actions into their own pages and substitute equivalent CF
tags for the
Witango ones. Obviously, I had to add the sql query at the top of the page, but
I even used the View SQL command of the search action to get a head start on
that. It was very quick and easy.
I later did a CF application from scratch but actually found development to go
faster by using the search and new record builders in the Witango
editor and then
convert the results to CF! Pretty cool. :) Anyway, I just thought
that I would share
my experience of the compatibility between CF and Witango.
I appreciate this thread. I've been wondering if Witango is alive
lately myself. A major
part of what has been making me wonder about the viability of Witango
is the lack of
news from With. It would be great if they would chip in at some point...
Best to all,
Stefan
