Re: Transitioning From Access To Web Sites
Adding to the good advice you already have. There is no one 'best' platform. There are many factors to consider, so I suggest doing research on that. It is definitely a very steep learning curve to transition from Access (or any desktop) platform, to web. I've been building Access apps for over 30 years. Started learning web with Classic ASP about 25 years ago, then ASP.NET. Currently, switching to Blazor. Each change involves a significant time investment, not only learning the tech, but getting comfortable with it. If you are sticking with Microsoft, then the language to pick is C#. The latest Microsoft web platform is Blazor, which does not support VB.NET. As mentioned, you'll also need to use a server based back end, like SQL Server, MY SQL, etc. So, you'll also have that learning curve. Everything done with your VBA code will be done differently. Some things, might be done in the back end via stored procedures or triggers. Others might be done with JavaScript or server code. So, you've got a lot to consider. Might be best to hire someone who has the necessary skills. One other thing to remember, it might be assumed that the web app would work the same on mobile devices as on a desktop browser, but that is not automatic. Adaptivity need to be purposely incorporated.1.5KViews0likes10Comments
