The key to extending and expanding VFP's life and uses has always been the Internet. Web-enabled apps are all the rage. Experienced VFP developers know rewriting a VFP app in HTML and JavaScript requires tremendous resources—and is more than likely to produce an app with fewer features than the original.
=0D=0A =0D=0AFoxInCloud allows you to run a native VFP app on a webserver as a 100% Web app. It actually uses West Wind Web Connection and other tools to translate the app into HTML and JavaScript calls with almost no overhead and full use of almost all the VFP functions. You can even insert JavaScript into your VFP app if you wish. The FoxInCloud server produces a complete Web 2.0 app appearance as well—no dull old fashioned gray forms or screens.
=0D=0A =0D=0AJavaScript, HMTL, and VFP can all exist side by side. But the best part is that your VFP app can still run on the desktop or LAN. One set of code that can run on the LAN or the Web—the stuff VFP developers have dreamed about for years.
=0D=0A =0D=0AOrganizing, adjusting, and maintaining an app for two platforms—one of which is new to many VFP developers—requires careful planning and implementation. This session demonstrates how to take a traditional VFP app and enable it for FoxInCloud, as well as maintain traditional VFP desktop functionality.
=0D=0A =0D=0AWe will actually use a very large live commercial app to see how this works.
