Hi all witty users. I am new to witty and have not looked into the workings in detail. I intend to work on a website for my own purposes and I need to know if witty is the right tool. I see a lot of examples that witty offers. - Cross platform & cross (multi) browser (even plain HTML compliant browsers) - Makes use of widgets concept - Renders leading web technologies code such as javascript, AJAX, etc. under the C++ engine. - Is more performant owing to its server side coding in C++ - Modal message boxes that are more intuitive ...and more. If I decide to develop a website using witty and I would try it at some point sooner, my question is if I can safely use witty without any performance problems? I mean let us say all the commercial web technologies, languages and plugins like .NET, J2EE, Php, Perl, etc. are tried and tested for performance delivery and they require more resources owing to their managed environment and lesser control over the garbage collector of the managed memory on the heap. However, most of the people are more comcerned about the database access, security, caching, rich UI, etc. and these things are provided in plentiful by these technologies. I also understand that since witty is considerably new and is open source, expecting that kind of support might be really dumb. But, since I want to start everything with open technologies, I have a set of questions here... - Can you list a few key important things, that can be done using .NET or J2EE but not using witty? - How good does C++ interact with javascript? As you said Wt uses C++ wrappers for Javascript, does it not put an extra layer over the javascript and create a performance issue while other technologies use java script as is? Or is the overhead negligible? - What is the best database library to work with witty? Is there any specific UI support for database interaction? - Problem with me is, I have hardly used C++ for web programming like this, just some n/w, socket, ActiveX...but not widgets and definitely not witty. Don't have much understanding, but I know it will all come as I have worked with C++ a lot. Is there any support for XML or other web services? Can I call them from witty? Some of the questions may appear out of sync and unrelated owing to my limited knowledge on web programming with C++. But, your comments will help refine my understanding. So thanks in advance and as per the comments, the more the merrier.... Bhushan
