Hey forum,
I've recently started doing research on this topic but to no avail as i'm not getting the answers I wanted so I'm here once again:
My question:
I need to develop an application to run on a normal desktop, but as an extension we would like to run it on the 3 main mobile device platforms aswell...The application requires Database Intensive queries...you could compare it to a POS (point of sale) system if you want to. Now my first thought was to move it to the new HTML 5 and javascript, but since I've never done this I dont know if running a web based application of a local (as in on the local network 10ft away) server would give me the same speed and feel as a desktop application? I wanted to move to HTML 5 or any other web based platform cause its my understanding Ill be writing one application instead of 4 or maintaining 4 for that matter? is my logic correct here?
Would I be better of developing a Mobile app and a Desktop app or would the web based version be good enough in terms of speed and efficiancy to do it thataway?
Extra notes:
The server will run the main program or web service.
Desktops or mobile devices connect to the server and its DB.
Kind regards
Krefie
