Jan 12, 2016 Jim Connolly on West Wind Web Connection 6.0



Our next meeting will be next Tuesday, January 12 at 7:00 PM in room 125, Devry University, 1140 Virginia Drive, Fort Washington, PA. Feel free to come as early as 6:30 and bring some dinner.

Our speaker this month will be member Jim Connolly who’ll discuss West-Wind Web Connection 6.0 Beta. From the West Wind web site, here’s the description of the product:

Create Web applications with Visual FoxPro and take advantage of a powerful and proven framework using the FoxPro environment you already know. Develop and test your code inside of the VFP IDE against live Web requests. Web Connection provides a core foundation engine, and several high level frameworks for developing just about any kind of Web application you can imagine. Create server driven HTML with our ASP.NET like Web Control Framework, or chose a more MVC like Templating approach. Build rich JavaScript apps and use REST services to feed data. Build raw POX or SOAP backend or use no framework at all and create your own low level engine on top of the core. If you need Web for FoxPro - Web Connection can do it all.

Jim will show the new features and give examples of setting it up on a computer.
