I'm thinking about starting a new project. I've always liked developing desktop applications because I feel in control of the application and what it does. At the company where I work, we use Intraweb. We've been developing with the tool for about 11 years, and even with all that time, I still don't like web or intraweb development per se. Perhaps it's because you need to use additional languages to be able to do practically the same things you do in a desktop application. That said, the question is: Is it worth developing ERP-type desktop applications at this time? I know there are several web frameworks, such as Intraweb (I use it daily at work), TMS Web Core, and Unigui. If you use any of the frameworks mentioned above, please share your experiences with me. Thank you for your time!

Hi, I state that I have no skills on the argument, so bear with me. I have read a lot since last week but the argument is really a jungle and I'd like to read your very useful suggestions. I try to explain what we have to do. At the moment we have a win32 application developed in VCL Delphi Tokyo. This app read/write on localhost Firebird DB. Now, we have to realize a web application, like a dashboard , wich the users can utilize to see some values, some charts, execute some predefined queries and change some parameters on DB, the VCL app get some notifications when this happened (event alert) to update the in memory parameters. This web app should run on computer and android mobile too, like this forum 🙂 The number of clients connected are very few, maximum 5. Now, according to you, what library, framework, we have to use for the front-end...? For the back end? I have to use a REST service like @Andrea Magni's MARS Curiosity? Finally, can you give me some guide or how-to that you've found useful to begin please? THANKS A LOT for any suggestions.
