Hi Metin,
Once in a while, I'll disagree with Rich and Craig ... ;)
Yes,
you can start developing mobile web application with VFP using FoxinCloud - and move afterwards to some other server technology.
Let me explain you why and how in 6 simple steps...
1. Using FoxInCloud, you adapt your existing VFP application to the Web (less than 1%) - you have your first foot in the Web, your client appreciate.
2. Using CSS, you adapt your HTML/CSS/JS front-end generated by FoxInCloud to your target devices (iPad/iPhone, etc.)
3. Using Cordova, you build hybrid Web applications using your VFP code on the server and the adapted HTML/CSS/JS that FoxInCloud provides
4. If not already, you move your data to a SQL database
5. You select your favorite server-side platform (php, .net, Java, ruby, etc.) and develop the transaction equivalent to what your VFP application currently does
6. Using JavaScript, you rewire the events from FoxInCloud to your new Applicaiton Server (at that point you have your FoxinCloud Application Server and your xxx Application Server server working side by side against the same database)
This process safely takes you from a 100% VFP/desktop offering to a 100% Web-based offering without any change on the user side: your UI is stable, you don't need to train anyone, users can gently 'slide' from desktop to the web.
> No rewrite, no migration, no brutal change, progressive learning, back-up solution, no dual maintenance, etc.
