A free-software alternative for HTML generation
We are currently promoting a HR c/s software that offer both a rich-interface and web-dev tool (a vfp win32 dev.) and a thin html client using a slightly customized version of foxisapi+vfp exe com objects.
Both of those pieces of software connect to a db engine (asa) available on many platforms including various flavors of unix.
We clearly find it difficult to sell a vfp-based nt-hosted software to IT techies. Also forget about ISPs that are suposed to offer the internet service...
In order to get around the difficulty we wish to skip vfp for the html generation (we will keep it for the rich win32 client stuff).
We should like to use Python, plain c or even java server technology for the code-generation routine (not a big thing, 1500 lines of vfp).
Has anyone on the UT tried to build its own html-serving routines in c, python. C language is painful but it should deliver. And string generation is no rocket science...
On the other hand, when u leave db-connectivity aside, Python looks highly attractive for a vfp guy. It offer a readable (REALLY) syntax, a la fox pseudo-code generation, clean data structures, some good books and a user community.
Any feed-back welcome!
