Subtitles of the Movie (Real Studio / Creating a Web App / About Real Studio Web Edition)
In addition to creating desktop applications for MAC OS X, Windows and Linux, REAL Studio can create web applications. It is important to understand that a web application is different than a web site. A web application is something more like Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, or your favorite discussion forum. A web site is just a set of static pages where the user does not usually interact with them. Let's take a look at REAL Studio Web Edition. We'll create a new project and choose Web Application. Here you'll see that REAL Studio creates a few default objects for you, much like the desktop application, there is an app class. There is also a new session class, and a web page. You can think of the web pages as the equivalent to windows in a desktop application. Much like a desktop application, the app class can contain information that is global to the entire application. Different for web applications however is the concept of a session. When a user opens up your web application, they get their own session. This allows you to have settings that are specific to that one user saved in the session object. Theirs particular useful when connecting to databases. Let's open up the web page. You can see the editor looks very similar to the window editor. The preview is a web browser, and you can drag controls into it. The properties all look very similar to the desktop push button properties for this particular control. And there are other controls that you can also add to the page. Web Edition does not include every control that is available in the desktop version but some of the common ones are included, including check box, html viewer, label, list box, popup menu's, progress bars, progress wheel, radio buttons, segmented control, text area, text fields. So here we have a simple page with just a button on it. Let's run it to see how this works with Web Edition. Our page comes up and the OK button is rendered on it. It won't do anything because we didn't add any code. You can see that this is running locally on the machine, this is the local host address, and is running on a specific port, and this is the name of the web page. Let's close the browser and stop. We can give our page a name and test out some simple code. We get the message Hello in a message box. You can see our title for the page now appears up here. We'll add a few more controls to the windows so that we can see what they look like. You'll notice the editor for the web pages has these little pencil icons that appear. You can click on these to edit the control directly in line. Here we can add sample data. Let's run this project. Here you can see various controls running within the web browser. With REAL Studio Web Edition you can leverage your REAL Studio skills to create web applications.
