Has anyone built any web application using Borland Development Studio
2006 professional? If so, did you use Delphi? Are there any good
tutorials available?
Thanks in advance.

though, but many of the features used apply to Pro too).
That being said, as part of this role I have created a couple of web
services and other minor web apps.

depending on what's your target server or client application.
 

Hi PM,
Enterprise feature I used were DB Web controls, but these could have
been replaced by regular ASP.NET controls.
As one public example, take a look at www.eBob42.com/courseware
(currently offline since the web server is being rebooted) which is
written in ASP.NET and Delphi 2006. The courseware details page is the
one using DB Web controls, but all others are just normal ASP.NET
controls that could have been made with BDS 2006 Professional (or Turbo
Delphi for .NET).
As for tutorials: the above application sells my courseware
applications, including Delphi 2006 Advanced ASP.NET Web Development
which describes this very application in detail (from scratch to
deployment and extensions using AJAX).
For some shorter (and free) articles using Delphi 2006 and ASP.NET, see
www.drbob42.com/examines and look for the ASP.NET articles

which is a web application we've been using for RTC customer support.
RTC Forum was written in Delphi and compiles with BDS 2006 Pro:

(can be compiled as a stand-alone Server, or as an ISAPI extension)

I wrote an Asp.NET application with Delphi 2005 and BDS 2006. I used
Pascal. I simply googled everything I didn't know. It just occurred
to me that I didn't use any tutorials. Although I think when I was
looking for a job in 2004, I read some ASP and C# books, which helped.
I read, Mastering ASP.NET with C# - Sybex, etc. At the time, since I
wasn't programming ASP.NET a lot of it didn't make sense. However,
when you have a project that needs to get done with ASP, you tend to
just jump right in and learn as you go along.
I knew a little about ADO programming, but for DotNet it is a different,
and that was one of the difficult aspect of ASP.NET: ADo.Net. But
once you get that, you're almost there. The hardest thing to realize
in web programming is the postback nature of web apps: it is all about
posting pages to the clients, and submitting requests from the clients
back to the server. One other thing that will help is a to learn
Javascript.

stuff, I'd like to start playing/learning web apps. Problem is,
dont know what is needed to get started.
So how does one start in the world of web development as a complete
newbie. Seems wierd being called a newbie after so many years of w32
development. Any pointers for someone walking in cold? Where to start?

I suggest you try 3 resources:
1) Delphi for .NET Developers Guide
2) delphi.about.com/od/aspnet/
3) The Eco book. you will learn and do some asp.net. tinyurl.com/mrdg9

If it is a web application why not look at Intraweb bundled with
BDS2006. You will need the Architect version to deploy as a dll.
I use it all the time professionally at work.

Nils,
Thank you..
Do you have a tutorial on how you combined ISAPI + IBX + Firebird to
create your site?
Thanks,
PM

Bob,
Thank you for your assistance, I am looking at a few of the examples you
provided. I am a newbie to Web development. All of my programming has
been DB related over the past 10 years.
Thanks,
PM
