Web App , what does it mean ?

[coslad]

I would love to learn how to create some applications for the web, but I am very confused, definitely do not want to learn php and I want something that looks like BXA.
For example you can develop web app with the B4J tool , in this case you have to create the html page and then create the code back with b4j, you can use visual studio with asp.net, or you can use Xojo ( ex real studio) .Which way is the easiest to develop simple web app ?

For simple things I prefer php but I'm just playing with asp.net and try to convert a .net program to it.

You can create web apps with B4J. You will need some html / css knowledge.

The online examples are available here: http://b4x.com:51042/

Knowledge of HTML can be overcome by using some tools for creation the user interface like "wysiwyg web builder" that already contains some jqyery ui, right?

A web app created with B4J can performs other operations? I mean that in part to respond to user requests via html pages, can it runs for example at a certain time on a backup database or connect to a server MQTT?

Yes. You can easily build a backend solution with B4J.

But in b4j what kind of system should I use to perform a task at a given time? A simple timer?

It is better to start a new thread for a new question (in the questions forum).

You can use a timer in a server to run periodical tasks.
