In the meantime the rest of the world as been moving ‘into the cloud’. Such web applications are sluggish and clunky, but the simplicity of no installation, universal availability and instant upgrades of the entire user base has trumped all other considerations.
So today I delivered my fist web application. Guitar informs the user when their guitar was built and by whom, if they type in the serial number. Behind the scenes there is a SQLITE database to store all the information about guitars and their makers, a PYTHON script to decode the serial numbers and find the exact information in the database, the WEB2PY framework to generate the dynamic web pages and a LIGHTTPD web server to communicate with the user. It is hardly elegant, and there is no need for any great performance, but the result is rather neat.
Perhaps it will be the first of many?
