Hello Martin,
(Please be patient, I am not an expert)
I am curious why you are developing an application that actually runs
on the machine, instead of using a webbrowser? You probably have some
very specific reasons for this, but I am still curious. I am just a
beginning developer, but to me not having to install anything on the
clients workstations are pretty nice, avoids a lot of the crashes,
etc. Also so portable.
Another guy I have spoken with has a database product that many
companies use; they used to use an actual application, but have since
moved to only browser support. And for the most part- there are
always exceptions- they don't have to do too much to make sure that
the Mac users can also use the browser just fine.
I see a lot of benefits and negatives on both sides of the equation.
John Chapman
