New potential user. Questions please..

Hello.

I just found the products on the web at the " alternatives to" website which gave me a link to the visual neo site.

I'm currently looking for a Rad tool to do client server database dev for small to medium businesses.  I'm also looking at other tools and will be choosing one soon.

One, or more of the questions I have are as follows.

The scripting language included in VisualNeo Win.  What or is there a link to learning it?

I haven't had the chance fo try the products yet, but will download both visual win and DVD pro trials as well as the visual web trial today and start playing with the same. Cant wait to try them.

Why would I choose VisualNeo Windows over VisialWebNeo to develop windows Exes since both seem to compile to exec's and the web version will even work for all of the OS's. I'm sure there is a reason, but I have to ask??

I have experience in the past in Visual Basic, classic asp, php,, javascript, SQL server, etc, etc, So I'm hoping the Windows Visual NeoWin software is powerful enough along with DB pro to write client server front ends to DB backends for small businesses?

Also, if one buys the cloud and the web dev app, is the hosting already setup to allow uploading and use of web apps without major configuration, or ?

I mean if I sell a web app and in doing so sell a year or more of hosting via the cloud, is it possible to upload and use the web app right away without having to set permissions, etc?

Thank you in advance so much.

Regards

Hi @hoosierdaddy, thanks for joining the forum.

If you want to develop Windows executables then use VisualNEO Win as VisualNEO Web relies on web technologies and uses a web browser to execute the compiled project (Internet Explorer or Chromium if you decide to use NWjs).

VisualNEO Win and NeoDBpro are the probably the best option for your requirements.

Also, if one buys the cloud and the web dev app, is the hosting already setup to allow uploading and use of web apps without major configuration, or ?

Mostly. You will need to install a free or paid SSL certificate in order to allow https connections (just a few clicks). If you need MySQL databases you will have to create and configure them too.

For simple projects uploading to the server is just enough. Please take a look at this video tutorial:

Let me know if you have any doubts.

Thank you so much. 

I will try it out and see what I think.  Really appreciate the quick response!!

Hi @hoosierdaddy, thanks for joining the forum.

Thanks for having me. I've been reading the online help. Very cool.

This reminds me of VBA in Acess or Office, but better!  Very well thought out and very clever.

I will be downloading and trying tonight or tomorrow and will try writing some simple programs, and if I have no major issues I'll be buying in a week or two.

Again, thank you so much.
