Tore,
sorry about the slow response. In Message ID 1642728 Thierry said:

"> Hopefully FoxInCloud can do the initial conversion and then the web developers can take over and run with it changing out whatever they see fit.

Yes, FoxInCloud can / is meant to do that.

FoxInCloud generates a Web app where you have full control over user events.
You or any developer can, at any time, instruct FoxInCloud to ignore some user events that are implemented using another framework such as Angular or React, and another backend such as asp.net, Java or PHP. Of course you can also adapt the HTML generated to fit into these frameworks."


>What has Thierry written that contradicts what I wrote? I have worked with FiC, and it was mostly VFP programming together with FiC base classes. FIC converts your VFP code to HTML, javascript and CSS. You can freely add your own javascript code, but it's still VFP code and VFP doing most of the work.

>>>FoxInCloud depends on doing most of the actual programming in VFP, with West-Wind Web Connection as back end.
