How can you write a web-based app using C++ and HTML on LINUX
Dears programmers,
May someone give me some advice on developing a web application using C++. I am using Linux with MySQL database and Apache web server.
Please help me.
depends on what you mean with Web-Application
Hi,
I agree to the posting above. If you could describe a little bit more in detail what you want to archive, somebody might help you.
It looks like someone told you about Web-Applications, and that it is possible to code them in C++ too. Then you thought: "Hey, something new, let's try it." Right ???
But a buzzword makes no project. So if you want to learn something about Web-Applications, you must know what is a Web-Application. The definition of Web-Application is very blurry. Nearly everybody in the business has her/his own definition about it.
Some call a simple HTML-Website including some smart javascripts a Web-Application, and they are also right as the ones that call a full-featured Application-Server a Web-Application.
In general I say, the best language to implement Web-Based-Thingies is Java. Ok, don't hit me... it's my opinion. C++ is the best programming language in the world (who the f.. is Eiffel ):) , but Java is better to quickly develop applications for the web.
This is because Java was not implemented to build traditional Applications, but Web-Based-Apps.
I never want to implement a Raytracer or Fractal-Generator in Java. Ok, the first one I tried
:p
And also I think I would never build an Application in C++ that implements functionalities usually found in a Java-Applet-Code.
For this reason I'm not familiar with calling C++-code from an Apace Webserver etc. I think if this is possible you surely can implement some smart functions, that handle XML-Code, but why ? Java has all built in.
Again, if you could describe more in detail what you want to archieve, maybe we can find a way.
Code on...
