yiankos1 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 23, 2023 #1 Hello team, I just finished user's app using b4xpages and xui views. Now, i have to do it for b4i too. (that's the easy part) I need an another app for the admin (admin panel), but i am not sure if a b4j windows app is the correct way. I see most admin panels are webapps, using a browser (accessible from everywhere smartphone-pc) but the problem here is that i am more familiar with b4a-b4i-b4j suites. Is it "professional" to mention at buyer, that admin panel is a windows app? (if another pc wants to access admin panel needs this app to be installed) On the other hand, creating a b4j app for admin panel, it will be easier to have another b4a-b4i native app just for the admin. What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts? Click to expand... A rule that I have started following is move all the functionality in separate classes. That way you can transfer a desktop app to a web app easily. Why don't you use jetty web server in a b4j app?

Sorry, from what I read I was under the impression that you plan to create a desktop app. yiankos1 said: Web app? like ABMaterial or BANano? Click to expand... You can try to learn bootstrap, jQuery and some basic css in w3schools.com because as I understand you know html. Bootstrap renders sites much more professional but probably you will need to fine tune it. jQuery is as easy as a piece of cake because you can learn all the usefull things for you in an afternoon (not everything obviously)... yiankos1 said: Any advice where to start?

ilan Expert Licensed User Longtime User Dec 4, 2023 #8 i agree with @aeric Web based application is the best solution. note that you will need a hosting that can run web apps.
