[AccessD] OT: MS WebMatrix for web development

Maybe better on this thread...

Has anyone given this web database and table macro ('triggers') a fair
test-drive yet?

We had this discussion before but I am more convinced than ever that most of
our applications will be moving to browser based applications... Google
knows it, FaceBook knows it and Microsoft knows it but they are playing
catch up as they have so much invested, in the desktop. 

My client's are no longer just happy to sit at one desk and work on their
applications. They want to work at home, in different countries, on
different computer OSs. Right now, other than going crazy, I am supporting 8
projects, 3 are desktop apps, one of those three is being migrated to
ASP.Net, 3 more are hardware installs (2 are potential web servers) and the
latest 2 are Web base apps, one being a POS applications.  

The numbers speak for themselves.

Jim

The difference between "Access" and "Access of the web" is that most
desktops run Windows and can run Access.  Most web servers run some form of
*nix and won't run Webmatrix.
