I have been developing in Delphi since version 1 but never crossed over to .net or web applications and never saw a good summary description of how its done. I think the following questions will give me the initial orientation I need to begin my own exploration.
Once compiled, what is the format of the application? .asp? asp.net?
If I compile a web app in Delphi do I need to place any special files on the server to run the application?
I can build, compile and run a sample COM application with a data driven grid within a few minutes. Does a web application take significantly more steps? If so, what are the nature of the additional steps?
I need to create a web based look up and entry portal that shares data with a 12 year old Delphi Windows application. For web work I am fair with asp but my strength is PHP. Knowing that any answer to this question will be very subjective, is it worth tackling the learning curve to use Delphi for the web app?
Thanks.
