Web Server Application Summary
In this chapter we have discussed the development of web server applications using SIMPOL. We haven't gone into detail about how to actually program these, since the mechanics of programming a web server application are covered in two other places in the SIMPOL documentation, and a group of sample programs demonstrating various aspects of web server application programming are included with the sample projects. This is just the beginning of a journey. Web server programming is a large an growing topic, but by using this facility within SIMPOL you can feel confident that you can deploy web server applications that use databases stored in your system and that may even be used by desktop program in-house. We use this sort of approach ourselves, with a basic web system for use by our customers and an expanded desktop system written in SIMPOL for in-house use.
The tools are there, where you want to take it, is really up to you!
