I am interested in developing a server side app with Xcode to
communicate with my macromedia flash client. Specifically, I want
to merge several audio files (located on the server) into one
larger file.. My flash client would send a list of audio files and
my yet developed app would merge them / return a link (for
downloading) to to the newly created audio file on the web server.
No GUI needed. Any suggestions on general direction / resources.
Done some simple Cocoa apps with Xcode / lots of flash work but not
exactly where to get started with this one.
Well, this is nothing particularly to do with XCode - it seems like
it might be a question better posed to the OmniGroup's macosx-dev
mailing list.
But here's a few things to get you started:
1) I assume you are thinking about this being attached to a web-
server, so your program would be a CGI program. You should therefore
read about CGI programs in the Apache documentation (and elsewhere).
2) It might be easier to write your program using Perl or PHP instead
of Objective-C since there is a lot of support for CGI programs in
those languages. And it seems that most of the work would be in
getting the data into the server - the actual merging is likely quite
easy.
3) I think the time for transmission of the audio data is likely to
exceed (by several orders of magnitude) the processing time for the
merging. It thus would seem to make more sense to have a client-side
utility to do this instead of doing on the server.
