Android with Delphi for Javascript

POST #030 =======================================================================
Take the big picture: I want to access data over the web, using my android tablet thin client. But I would like to keep my server/service written in pascal. What I'm trying to do is write a small web application in Delphi which support REST protocol and JSON. I would like to share my customer table remotely through Android tablets, table has more than 10,000 customers. Of course, I need authentication, strong scheme to ensure that connection is secure. So, my server should send small data packets to client, and security is an issue, but I don't have the necessary muscules in my brain to do the client side in javascript. So I could try to convert Delphi to javascript, but I don't know if this is possible. Simple as...


Ok folks, I know that PHP, java could help me with this, but I would like I'm a GUI guy ;) Take a look at this video. I'm using Delphi as server side and Delphi for javascript as client side, and finally I've combined with Cordova to create an Android application. Everything using pascal, android .apk file size is 300kb!

So there you have it, two possibly great frameworks combined! Whether they really are that great.

Thanks for listening, if you like this video I'm warleyalex from the beautiful Seven lakes, Brazil. otherwise I don't know anything about it...
