Making Web-enabled


De Netwerkadviseur BV
 

Hi,

I am still working in V9.4SP8 with Btrieve database. I want to make my applications web-enabled.
It is about 260Mb of Magic control files and about 30 years of development. I also use GET.DLL and some ownbuild OCX/DLL components.

I want to do it right the first time, so I am thinking of three possibilities to do this:
1. Migrate to XPA and use RIA and how will RIA handle components I they are rebuild in DOTNET
2. Use Magic Broker and develope the webside by a thirty party tool
3. Leave Magic and develope by a thirty party tool

May be there are more options, may be there are company's offering conversion to web-enabled.

As I think these considerations has passed a lot of you, please can you share your experiances?

Best regards,
André

Magic broker is solid and just works. HTML-merge serves all. Gigaspaces helps to you scale to Google/Netflix orders of magnitude but unlikely you need it.


Lots of choices for javascript frameworks. React wins.


Just an opinion.

Hi Craig,

Thank you for your opinion. I am already testing the magic broker and it look likes to be the best option.

Best regards,
André
