[Moved] Software as a Service

lupasa

Hello, is there an example or feature to implement SAAS.

Thank you.

You'll need to be a bit more specific to get a useful answer. What exactly is it you are trying to do?

lupasa

Yes. Develop some software to be in app server. Clients can run that software from the server looking like a desktop software.

I don't think this is related to Web Runtime. Maybe we can move it to other place?

hm.. SAAS is a business model, not a tech/feature

lupasa

Yes. RIA maybe is more correct.
I'm using a RADD UniPaaS from MagicSoftware, it have a very powerful mode called Rich Client, you develop a software like a GUI but it run from a server Windows or Linux, the clients connects to that server and run like a desktop application.

Does Rich Client runs in any browser? Or they some propriate technology/software for that?

Tried to watch their demo, but it requires .Net 2.0 and MSHtml. Closed the page.
Maybe something like Embarcadero RadPHP is worth looking at as an example as well.

lupasa: So write some client that communicates with a server. The basics are all in Qt... high level stuff like a framework for application level protocols are of course not part of a standard Qt. So it is definitely possible, but will require a bit of work or 3rd party libraries to ease the protocol implementation.
