I would like some advice.
I am considering porting one of our Windows applications from .NET to
Mac. We have several Mac users that have requested our product, but it
currently runs on Windows and communicates with our back end IIS server
through a WebService. I am curious as to what you "pros" would use to
do what we are thinking about. Advice on languages, components, or
techniques would be greatly appreciated.
THE APPLICATION
1. App is a compiled UI to a server-based service.
2. When launched, the app connects to a web service and downloads the
user's configuration blob (in XML).
3. As the user works within the app, the XML-based configuration file
is modified.
4. When the user "Saves" their changes, the configuration blob is then
pushed back to the server through the web service.
PROJECT CONSTRAINTS
1. The back end server is IIS and is running ASP.NET with two main web
services published. This cannot be changed at this stage.
2. The app must use as many native technologies as possible. Mac is
not currently our primary deployment platform so we cannot invest large
amounts of money in it with 3rd party products.
3. The use of open source technologies (or freebies) is highly
discouraged.
Again, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
Ryan
